1965 Barracuda 273 rebuild...intake code?

That's what I thought you'd find. It depends how far you want to go with it. If it needs bored and you need pistons anyway you might as well get the high compressions ones. Egge still makes them. What rocker arms do you have? Adjustables? If so you can change to a solid lifter cam like the original engines had with new lifters and pushrods. But, nothing wrong with a hydraulic and lots more choices.
It came with hydraulic lifters but I do have a set of solid adjustable rockers and shafts for it. I grew up adjusting lifters on the old y- block Ford 292 so no problem for me.
I'll probably check the bore and go for the high compression set up. Probably change cams to match the original Commando type set up with solid lifters.
I've only had minor seeping from the front intake manifold gasket. The bolts all had washers under them i believe.
this picture is just before I pulled the intake off. View attachment 1715630687
