Ok Thanks for the info guy's....It turns out I have a early 273 with the smaller bolts on a slightly different angle...I checked it out with a Eddy intake & it looks like it has enough clearance to go on I will use tapered washers to adjust for the different bolt angle. My next question...

Thanks Tom, I just went & checked & they are not vertical. I will pull it down & see how I go with a different intake. Cheers Gra

Hi Guy's, I have a early 273 I am about to rebuild & have been told that they have a different angle in the valley & I can't fit a aftermarket intake. If they are different can a intake be machined to fit ??? Or can I fit later 273 heads & then fit a aftermarket intake. Or are they...

Ok so now I have some direction I'm off to play & see what happens. Thanks for the help everybody I will let you know how I go in the next few days with the changes & at the drags on the weekend I'm hoping to get into the 13's which I think would be good for my old work horse wagon. cheers...
