273 Carb Size

I can remember in 67-68 friend of mine had a hot 283 in a 48 Ford. It ran pretty good. No idea what cam, it was lopey and solid lifters, all built "back yard." Power Pack heads, big pistons, and a 'Vette aluminum WCFB inline 2x 4's manifold. But he didn't HAVE WCFBs on it--rather had port matched carb adapters and had the older, smaller AFBs on it. No idea what models those were.

Hurst "misery" shifter, Chev 3 speed (which got broken a lot) and 4.11's. Home made headers. I rode in it once when he raced a friend's brand new 68 Camaro 350. had dual exhaust added, and whatever the stock gears were. Beat that 'maro 2 out of 3. Had a Dixco? Rac? wide sweep 5K tach, just wind that ***** up until the needle is buried and then wind it until the points/ valves float.
