Best carburetor and intake manifold for a 273?

The LD4B Edelbrock is a great manifold for the 66 and newer 273's. The stock 4 barrel manifold works well also and is cheaper and easier to find. Watch out for manifolds made for 340 and 360 engines. They have large ports and although they will work, they aren't as efficient as the manifolds designed for the smaller 273/318 ports.
