Weiand #8007 intake on a 273 (Several questions)

toolmanmike said
You are overwhelmed because you want to build a fun street 273 and someone wants you to put a Super stock 273 combo together. Litz, you need to back up and re-group. Do a little homework before you pull the trigger. The combination of parts that you stated in your first post are not "budget" 273 friendly. Geez, How did this thread end up in a argument? You have a stock 273 and you want to add a 4 barrel and intake. Good! Add headers when you can. Another good! Install a 8 3/4 with 4:10's good and not so good. Your choice, The 4:10's are a stretch. You don't need that gear for it to perform well and you don't need to rpm the motor to make it work. I'm done here and I hope other members stop posting and leave the guy alone. Litz was just asking about carb size. PM me if you want help with your 273. tmm

Thanks For the encouragement! You are exactly right. I'm going to stick with the basic plan that I started with and that is to add a 4bbl, carb,and headers to the 273. Second thoughts on a cam. After all the cam talk I'm going to wait a while. I already have an A body 8:75 complete with super stock springs. I figured I would drive it with that combo until I install the subframe connectors and at that time move the springs inboard When that is done and everything is in order. Interior, body prep, etc. I'll go with with a 360/TF But that's probably a year down the road. All I really want to do right now is add a little snap to it, get the chassis work done, and drive it for a while. Lots of things to do before I do the engine swap. Thanks, Litz
