With my 8.5:1 SCR, probably a great idea,

Great, l'd be really interested to hear how it goes.

Okay, thanks rumblefish360, sounds quite positive.

Hi TMM, I've run plasma moly rings on a number of builds. They seat quickly and work great.

I'm freshening up a 1974 low comp 318 with a quick hone, new plasma moly rings and new bearings. I done some home bowl porting & port matched the 675 heads with larger 1.88 / 1.60 valves. SCR will be around 8.5:1 with Mr Gasket 1121G (0.028") head gaskets. Using a port matched Performer intake...

Thanks 66fs, l’d prefer a flat tappet solid stick but there’s been a spate of cam & lifter failures in the past few years. I’ve never wiped a cam before, and would prefer it to stay that way. Ideally l’d like to build a mild 300 hp 273 that runs nice on the street with a 4-speed and 3.23 gears.

Thanks JD, interesting build. Food for thought.

Has anyone built a 273 Commando or other mild 273 mill, with either a hydraulic or solid roller stick? Is there any real benefit to a roller stick in such a small V8? Hypothetical A Body 273 build to base this discussion on: 273 block bored 0.030" with a zero-deck flat-top piston (9.5:1 SCR)...

From past experience, I've dealt with Brewers Performance with all my A833 needs. Dan Brewer in particular answers all my emails with great information, they have great knowledge and good products. I live in Melbourne Australia and have a 67 Formula S 273 Commando 4-speed car, the people at...

Next in line please

Tried to send a PM regarding the valve covers, first in line for the 273 Commando valve covers.

I have a 67 Barracuda Formula S with Kelsey Hayes front disk brakes. Can I get some feedback on the best complete front-end kit for this A Body. I prefer to stay with an OEM type rubber bush kit, not poly stuff. What do you guys think of this complete kit from eBay? Front End Suspension...

Excellent Dan, good original bells are becoming harder to come by

Thanks Dan, wow that's a huge eye-opener for all of us. I've now managed to find a good 734 10.5" bellhousing locally and will be placing an order this afternoon to Brewer's Performance for a number of other items I need. In the past I've order a heap of stuff from you guys, everything always...
