Well it's complete! The carb swap and all that entails is done! I went from a two barrel BBD to a Carter AFB and I used a stock 68 iron four barrel single plane intake! I ended up using a one inch carb spacer to clear the throttle plate openings and when all was done I now have a great deal...

This might be a dumb question, So here goes. Right now I have a 273 with 2 1/2 inch duals with crossover and magnaflow's. The 273 has a two barrel. When I upgrade to a four barrel carb and intake will it change the exhaust note louder? I like the low rumble I have now and yea it could be a...

I have a stock 273 running a 195* thermostat. It runs fine but after a while in the Texas heat it creeps up in temp on the stock guage to 3/4 towards HOT. My question is since I have bypassed the heater core and live in the heat belt should I run a 180* thermostat or none at all? Pros and...
