273????

Ok so it sounds as though I may be better off with the 302's so I'll have a look around. I have a 72 318 in the car right now so I may have a look there.

I know why don't I just do up the 318, I was thinking it would be cool to do up the # machining motor. Though I may do up the 318 if the 273 does not work out.

There is no VIN number on a 273.

Starting in late 1968, Chrysler began stamping the last eight digits of the car's serial number on the rear of the engine where the block and transmission meet. In 1969, the VIN stamping was moved to the lower passenger side of the block. Early 1969 models used the full VIN while later models used only the last eight digits. Warranty engines will have no numbers on this pad. If the number differs from the car's VIN tag, the engine was probably taken from another car and would not be considered "numbers-matching."
