The Stay At Home Dad 273 Build.
Here's my 273 build for anyone who is interested. The goal was for it to be streetable enough to drop the lil' one off at school, ballet etc., but fun enough to keep Daddy happy on the weekends. A big thanks to FABO members and especially Justin, (1Wildand CrazyGuy), for all of the help and guidance along the way.
Solid Lifter Cam, lifters, and Springs by Schneider Racing Cams:

I reused the #315 closed chambered heads. Justin ported the heads to flow:
INT/EXH PORT NO.6
---- int--------exh
.100- 61------na
.200- 128-----94
.300- 174-----114
.400- 196-----133
.450- 204-----148
.500- 199-----153
chambers measured 66.5-67 cc (64cc original)
The heads were taken to Mesa Machine in Escondido, decked .040, new valves and springs and I used the Fel-Pro Q8553PT head gaskets. Added Comp Cams 7822-16 7.5" Pushrods.
I rebuilt my Eddy 1406, running everything through the ultrasonic cleaner:
My original pan was dented up prettey bad so I got this zinc plated replacement off of Ebay and used a "crush-proof" gasket and new pan bolts:
I re-used the perfomer intake and had to have the surfaces milled a bit to line up with the heads with a Fel-Pro Q1213S3 performance intake gasket.
I added an Edelbrock 2696 Square bore to spread bore adapter/spacer after the break in. The outside of the carb measured 11 degrees cooler than before.
I replaced the oil pump with Mopar Performance P4286589 and the harder shaft P3690715
