Ignorant College Student--Need Advice!

Ok, I got some pictures up. I didn't think the rust was that bad, but apparently it is...It's a 273 engine. That sucks that the intake won't fit. It has drum brakes, it runs but it's not pretty.

If you found a good deal on an Edelbrock LD4B, then buy it and flip it. Many people here are looking for them...

Or, you can change the heads on the 273 to a head from 66 and later 273 or 318. The heads will bolt onto the 273 block, and then you can use the LD4B intake as they have the proper bolt pattern...
