273 - 273 Commando

I have a 273 in my 67 Dart-wanted to keep the original engine. It's .040 over, 224/468 mechanical cam. I ported and polished the heds (great heads on a 273). 500 CFM carb, 9 1/2:1 flat head pistons, 2 1/4" X pipe with Imco exhaust, 904 auto trans with a shift kit and Electronic ignition. I just replaced my 3:55 with a 2:76. When the 3:55 was in it-she would burn rubber in all gears. Advance is 12-14 degrees. I am not racing it so it is just fun to drive.
Not so great on gas milage though.
