273 or NOT 273?

But the bottom line is, a 273 that runs 12s in a 3200lb street car is going to be a tough build. More expensive than a 318-340-360, and less torque than any of them. It will basically be a temperamental race engine that you try to make street friendly, and will likely be a exercise in dissatisfaction. Put a 4" crank in your current 340, refresh the engine as needed, and be miles ahead and have money left in your pocket when your done.
I don't want a 4" crank , If I stay 340 I will use the stock stroke. I like to rev and my car is a 4 speed so cam choice isn't really a problem and I have 4.56s so a tourque stroker that is done at 6k isn't in my list of goodies. Every car I see now has a stroker , I'm old school. I like to rev , Make a buzz saw that rips. Might not be fast but I guarantee that it will be impressive for what it is. I have a stock bore 340 block that I might work with but I'm really thinking about a 273. Confused at the moment.
