273 commando. How 2 tell?

Im sure someone will chime in, but the only way I have heard is the pistons are dometops

Yes

If standard bore, pistons commando 2 valve relief semi dome, std 4 valve unidirectional pistons. If bored all bets off as it could have higher compression flat top piston also.

Yes

Check the valve lift, should be about .420 and is it a 4 bbl?? The distributer will be a dual point. If you can pull a plug and see if you can tell if the piston is domed.

And yes!
