273ci thoughts?

... Actually, it does, sort of... driver dependent is the first issue and then there is the possible issue of chassis or traction deficiencies. I say this often, “To bad I’m not a multi millionaire!” Just build stuff just to have fun and test and destroy and rebuild and test again with engine vs engine shoot outs. Like a combo of Richard Holdner, engine masters, road kill, top gear mixed with idiots delight. I guess I better start playing lotto for a change huh?!?! It would make for a awesome you tube channel.
LMAO!!!

No, I never really had money till later in life. I think you are doing good. Yes, that was pretty much what that 64 Barracuda was. I'd love to have home movies of all the crazy stuff we did. Put the rebuilt shortblock in the car by hand. My buddy Irwin and I. Can't remember how we did it. Then built it up from there. Definitely a test mule. I was a 273 2 barrel for about a month. I bought it after I checked to be sure I could get a bunch of aftermarket goodies for it. Some worked great, others not so much, like one inner fenderwell cut for Kustom headers. When I installed one side, it came right back off and the decision to run manifolds was made. After I had thrown away the originals, of course. Back to the Chrysler Dealer to order new ones. After the last big collision it took a year to strip it and let it go. My brothers 67 Barracuda pretty much the same, to a lesser degree since he drove it anywhere, everywhere, all the time.
