Carb Choice (New 318)

Called for? I don't understand. I made a simple statement. Simply that you will leave a LOT on the table without headers. Sorry, I actually missed the 273 manifolds.

Is there something inherently wrong with the 273 manifolds? From everything that I read, the stock small block manifolds flow nearly as well as headers...or near enough to not justify the $500+ cash layout on a mild engine like the subject of this thread.
