Anyone build a high RPM 273 using 2.02 size head?

Everyone thinks I'm some kind of 273/318 hater, but that's simply not true. I have built numerous combinations of both, BUT the bottom line for MOST people is bang for the buck. So as a example, here is one I built back in 2017, and it has major restrictions. But for the sake of discussion, it is a .005 over 360, stock stroke, flat top piston, EQ heads very well prepared, but UNPORTED, with a 1.94 intake valve and a .420!!! Lift hydraulic flat tappet cam, a untouched performer 318/360 intake, with a holley 500 2 barrel carb. It cost my customer right at 6k at that time, parts, labor and dyno time. And unlike the 273 in the discussion which I think failed after a few pulls, this one is STILL running to this day.

I still don't know why you guys always "have" to add the 360 to every small block conversation. Like we have not heard it a million times before. 12 second quarters are 12 second quarters, or 10 second for that matter. I've had all the small blocks in HP form. Did not save one 360, and I had early ones and police ones with all the good stuff. If you can't contribute to the discussion, don't feel the need to add "the 360 is the best and only engine to build". Not everyone feels that way.
