    Any pictures of that '66 dart. There's a YouTube video of a white one with red interior. They took it for a spin up and down the street and that one had a 340 in it. Sounded pretty nasty

    Oh this little 273 revs pretty quick for what it is... That isn't even a 2000 RPM Rev. I can imagine though with a little lightning up will do... Most people do not believe this is a 273 engine

    273 copper head gaskets SCE

    I have confidence that these Mr gasket 1121 g will seal that head. I'll watch the coolant level if it continues to go down then I will definitely pull off the headers and tighten the lower bolts

    273 copper head gaskets SCE

    I'm going to pull the valve covers off and check the head bolts underneath the rocker arms to see if they need more tweaking if they don't the bottom set of bolts by the headers I will leave alone because I am not pulling off those headers again
