Man with a Master plan.
I have a 65 barracuda with 273. I got the opportunity to buy a small block 360 with 727 torq tranny and i was wondering if it would bolt on? is it a good engine?
360 stock = low compression. low compression = low power output. Just so you know
Put the correct heads on that 360, closed chamber like the 273 has, still wont rev like the 273. That 273 charger engine is way under respected. IMO. But yes build the 360 for power and no comparision. And I think 360 is 8.5 comp and 4bbl 273 is 10.5. Big difference in power.273 = 3.31" Stroke
360 = 3.53" Stroke
More stroke = more torque.
Even with low compression, 360 can make more power than the 273.
I had a stock low compression one in a heavy 74 charger with just a 4 bbl, and it ran great.
It will throw that light a-body down the road just fine.
Then put a few parts on the 360 to wake it up and it will run like a raped ape....
