273 time to 'fish or cut bait'...

Oh by the way, the 64 and 65 273 heads came with smaller bolts for the intake and at a different angle. That's why the PO hogged out the intake holes. 66 and newer small blocks are the same bolt size and angle.

Toolmanmike,

'Commando' car came without engine. Feel if it's badged it should be close, at least. $100 engine with 4v intake for a '65, thought I'd give it a try, I have a lead on a 318, but that's future 65Cudafix's problem. Bought

the book, but it ain't here yet.

Photo of what I believe could be part# for intake.

Saw your thread on 273 build, what cam did you use? How's it working out?

65Dartman brought up an interesting point. If I need to get cylinders bored, will stock pistons work? Doesn't/can't rings compensate for minimal bore size?

Thanks,
65Cudafix
