Engine is pulled - 273 rebuild or replacement 360 crate?

what makes you think the 5.2 will look "cluttered"?

dressed up with the LA/273 front cover and accessories it'd be nearly indistinguishable.
The differences in the valve cover bolt pattern trick a lot of people. Some people will look at you like you've got two heads if you tell them LA valve covers will bolt right on a Magnum head. To change an old saying, "Valve covers and paint make it what it ain't!"
