273 Supercharging?

some times doing what the rest of folks are doing is not a bad thing.

with a 360 you get more cubes and better heads, if you want to go fast than 360 is the way to go.

if you just want to tinker to say that you supercharged a 273, then go for it, but its a dubious achievement a) because its probably already been done before b) because of the platform you are working with it won't really put out impressive numbers.

not trying to crap on your idea, but if your goal is 300HP there are better alternatives. Plus with the 273 your going to have to do a lot of updating to the whole package to make it work, i.e. fuel system, intake, water pump/radiator, trans/converter. so it not just lets play slap a supercharger on it and see if it works.


if you really want to keep the 273, i think you can get 300HP NA, but with some over bore, new pistons, cam, intake and head work. its already got a steel crank and ductile iron rockers so its a good base to start with something. check out the D-darts and get some specs on their 273s.


PS i tossed the 273 from my 66 dart because 318s are cheap and drop right in. so for me it was money thing.
