273 Commando Slugs

Did you attempt to reverse your pistons, or just install them straight up? Where these are above-deck I'd always worry about hitting a head.

I've made some headway on my 273 rebuild. No longer a refresh. Gonna have to be bored. Cant order the pistons till I know whether its 20 or 30 over.

Ordered a Racer Brown Mechanical ST-1 today. Jim says it'll give me just what I want with my setup. Its a little hotter than the 273 Hipo cam, but not as hot as the D-Dart Race cam. Those ran really lumpy. Not as streetable as I want.

My total budget is around $1500 if income taxes come out right and based on the machinist I talked to today, I will probably come in just under the wire even with buying pistons. Cant wait. Block and everything to be dropped at the machinist tomorrow.
