Best carburetor and intake manifold for a 273?

I agree I wouldn't try to go too far with the 273. But it's not a bad starter engine to learn on. Like any engine 4bbl, exhaust and gears are a good start and can work with a 360 swap down the road.


I'd go with an intake and carb that would also work with a 360 unless there's little chance of the swap happening. I'd go with a 650 and a eddy performer intake since it's got in between size ports. It not the greatest intake for 360 unless gasket matched so basically it will work for both and you can get them cheap used.
