Which transmission do you have? I like a later model engine (especially a 5.2 or 5.9 Magnum) but it would require changes to the converter pilot or changing the transmission with an automatic. Or maybe use the 273 crank in a 5.2 or 318. Mostly commenting to watch, though, I have trouble keeping up with the options of different converter spline counts and crank hub registers. But I really like a 5.2 magnum (along with your choice of timing cover and fuel pump drive) and send the stock cam to Ken at Oregon for a regrind.

Looking for some help on which way to go. I have a 65 Cuda with a 273 that I have to rebuild. The block needs to be bored. Machine shop wants to go .60 over. Other work needed, heads, crank grinding, camshaft grinding, regular stuff. Around 3500.00 for labor, then buy new pistons, so question is is there a better cheaper way to go on this, do these prices seem in line? It's not a #'s matching car so that's no consideration. Not opposed to another engine, 318 etc.
Thanks.
