273 Engine set up I'm thinking of going with, let me know what you think
I must have went to bed too early, I missed this one. Sounds like the guy at summit just wanted to sell you a small block combo and not one for the 273. Oh well, He didn't know!
Egge has pistons available as does Kanter. You can search around here for 273 build threads because I have heard mention of pistons coming from other companies. I need to find them and file them for easy access. The camshaft needs to match the rest of your combo and hydraulic or solid is your choice although you will need lifters (of course) and different pushrods if you switch. Headers are really a must for max horsepower gains. You can make exhaust improvements by using early 340 manifolds. Lots of info here at FABO about those. Your carb and intake also depends on the combination you have and the final tune will optimize what you have. Feel free to read through my 273 build link below. tmm
