1969 273 upgrade advice

Rumble is working around the 273 to get you faster. You can easily drop a 360 short block in its place, literally a few washers on one side, and youll be 50% more HP and torque off the bat with full 273 dress (minus 360 balancer and torque convertor or B&M flexplate). But if you wanna stay with the 273, all the hop ups apply but your always going top be soft on torque without a tall rear gear crutch.
