Does this have a resonator as well?

Thanks babyblue. That's got a nice sound. The 2 1/2" sure does make it throaty. I think that's the way I'll go with mine. Thanks! Toolmanmike

sounds really nice.that cam sounds very idle friendly considering its in a 273.what muffler are you running?

 

[Babyblue66]

The muffler is a no name brand from a local shop. Not sure what it was.
I was going to do dual 2 1/4 first, but I was in a rush and didn't trim the cross member. It turned out ok. I was not sure about the cam, but it is a nice size for the 273. Good torque and pulls to 5800. It would be nice to get headers at some point though. For what it is, a 273 auto with manifolds, I'm pretty impressed. It moves out, and with the 3.55's she la down some rubber.

The road is a little damp here, but even on a dry day it'll smokem!

No I don't, and that won't happen for a while, I lost second gear.
So the trans is coming out this winter at some point, I just don't have any cash to rebuild one though.

Any more details on the 273 combo (intake, carb, heads, stall)? The comp 270 doesn't sound too aggressive in it but it seem pretty peppy for a 273. Anything you would change?

Has a stock 65 single plane 4 bbl intake, 600 Carter afb (like Edelbrock), heads are stock 1965 I milled .032 and pocket ported. Flat tops, block decked .040 comes out to 9 to 1 compression.

Stock trans and converter, actually gets second gear scratch sometimes.

I would have gotten different pistons and closer to 10 to 1 if I were to change anything. But the pistons were new in it, I just honed, rerung, balanced, and ground the crank. And a little head work.

Overall its a very nice strong running engine with decent power for the cubes.

I had a 600 holley on it, but the Carter has a little better off idle response and smoother transition to wide open.

If you guys don't mind, here's a video from MVRCorp of his Dart with a 273 using the Isky E-4 cam. It sounds great too! Anybody else out there have a video of their 273? toolmanmike
