...how much power do you imagine is gonna make on an 8/1, 273
I'll tell ya; Pishta knows; check his sig.
A 318 is 16.5% bigger, runs the same heads and cam in those years but ran 9.0 Scr. There is no contest.
I swapped a 318 short block under a 273/4 top end and cam and was blown away with new found torque.
with 318 blocks give away cheap, Id not waste time hopping up a 273. For stock power, no problem running a 273. Ford guys dont mess with 260's becasue they have cheap 289/302 motors. We got the same dynamic.
