Yet another 273 build advice thread!

... We are building a mild low maintenance engine. The two barrel carb, points and solid cam were at the top of the list of things that HAD TO change.

Why spend money, just use the hydraulic setup. However Chrysler adjustables are not maintenance hogs. I have adjusted mine twice in 300,000 miles. Solid lifter cams also seem to last longer. Never had a solid lobe go away. Stock and relatively mild street builds. Anyway, good luck.
