273 Build

I took the short block and components to Steve Weber at Dewar Machine.
A one man shop and very particular. He cleaned, checked and machined as
needed. A +.030 overbore, a hone with torque plates and a .010/.010 turn on the crank was needed. The decks were square and straight as was the line bore. I ordered Egge 10.5/1 pistons to replace the original pop ups. Steve called me one day and said "we need to balance this thing. Your new pistons are lighter than the originals" It was balanced because the +.030 Egge's were 68 grams lighter. Lighter is good!
