273 or 318 ?

273. No surprise here. Just something about them. Ran many cars with a stock Commando in the 66 Formula S and the killer 273 in the 64 Barracuda. They would take anything near their size and run with HP engines 100 cubes bigger. And get mid 20's mpg. Could I do the same thing with a 318? Sure, but it was too much fun with the 273. How fast do you want to go? 140 mph fast enough? That's where I'd quit, not the 273. Fry the tires through 1st, second, and halfway through 3rd? Yes, with 4.10 gears. No, I don't need a 318. I don't need a 340, got one on a stand. I don't need a 360, sold them all years ago. Even my brothers 67 Fastback 273 would hit 140 mph with a 2 barrel short block and a 340 TQ on a stock Commando intake. Not theoretical. Just great memories from the past.
