Custom decals for 273hp

[hemidart1]

I am building a 360 to resemble a 273 Commando to be put in my '65 Belvedere. I am making a "what if" sort of ride. What if you could get a 273hp in a B-body...Koffel did it in '65 and won.
So in homage to the Super Stocks-I made up a set of these to honor my own "one of none"-a fun way to start a conversation at a car show.
cool eh?

sorry for the crazy distorted pic...used the first test run decal and stuck it on a side glass to take the picture. It is actually the closer to the same size and dimensions as the hemi ones(that went inside the glovebox door).

Real 273

that motor looks like the one in the article-from the Feb 1966 Hot Rod-on the step by step 273 build up for racing

your car could definitely use one of my decals!

Just waking up a old series of posts. -- Here is a 318 dressed like a 273, in My 65 Valiant.

I spun a rod bearing in my first 273/4 and moved all the parts onto a 318 block. With a mild Herbert stage 1 cam in it, it was way faster than the 273/4 ever was. Im building a 408 and without the callout on the MP chrome air cleaner, you wouldnt know if from a 273.

Magoo, watch out for that fuel filter, I had one whos filter media came unglued inside and went into "bypass". plugged my inlet right up and darn thing ran lean as heck and died when I got on it.
