273 Engine set up I'm thinking of going with, let me know what you think

A few points.
If your engine is original to the car and has non adjustable valvetrain it uses a hydraulic cam.
Not all 273 were solid lifter (mechanical) cams. They switched to hydraulic in 67, I assume to standardize parts between it and the 318.
Also, if it is a 67-69 engine an intake manifold for 67 and later engines is what you need. ... Alan

1968 was the year they started hydraulic cams in the 273. 1966 was the year the intake manifold was changed to the standard 318 bolt pattern.
