I've done a ton of research- so now I'm really confused....

KISS...

keep it simple stupid!

Points will work just fine, have for 100 years. Do a tuneup, points condenser, rotor, cap, plug wires and spark plugs.


2bbl will work flawlessly, rebuild it.

The 273 heads are closed chamber, dont think you will increase compression with any other head.

Oil burn on startup, might be valve seals, my 67 273 is doing it as well (150,000 on last rebuild, 320,000 on car as a whole)

One of these days i will replace them and see.

As for performance, who could want more than 19.8 in the quarter @ ~70 mph.

Its a good looking car (as barracudas go!:rolleyes:)

So tune it up and enjoy it, then when you are ready, mess it all up with your 360.

273s ROCK!
