273 or 318 ?
good catch, I wondered who would trip on it first.....
Well, by the bore she was a was 340,
but everything else was 318, which in 69 was also same as 273;
eg; heads, cam, intake, 2bbl carb, were all off a 69 Satellite, which had taken the 340stuff.
So in the end, I called it a high compression big-bore 318, cuz nobody would believe me if I opened the hood and called it a big-bore 273, even tho that was exactly what it looked like.
I installed it into a '65 V100 wagon, in about 1975, with fenderwell headers and dual exhaust.
what a hoot she was.
