Information on the 273

I have had two different 273 2 bbl stock engines in 1967 b-bodies. They were running good, hitting on all 8 cylinders and not burning oil. So in decent used condition. Seemed to be underpowered and unimpressive Compared to the same year stock 318, which was a much better daily driver, more power, better fuel mileage. All with 2.94 gears and stock size 205/75/14 tires.
