273 vs 318 [in England!]

They both have nice bodylines that are similar in general. Either the 273 or the 318 will produce adequate power to get around, and both can accept bolt-ons(intakes,4bbl carb,headers,etc.) that would easily increase HP to mid to high 200s. One thing to remember is that the 273 is one of the most fuel efficient engines that Mopar produced, and if I'm not mistaken, was even more efficient than the famous slant six. With fuel prices quickly on the rise with no end in site I'd be strongly considering the 273 car. In the end, it will be the one that you like the best. Mike
