273 or 318 ?

[superstock64polara]

318 all day. Took a 68 318 block and put it in 273-4 clothing (heads, induction, cam, exhaust...just the 318 short block) and it was more fun than the 273-4 ever was in my '65 S. The 273-4 would break the wheels, but the 318 would smoke them with a 3.23 SG. And that was without the compression bump the 273-4 had. It had 45 inches on it! Thats ~17% more motor.

This is an older post, but l agree with 'pishta' completely. I have a 67 Barracuda Formula S 273 4 speed, while l think it's the coolest looking Mopar mill of all time, my 273 Commando is soft on streetable power. I intend to replace the 273 short with a 318 short motor, and use everything else from the 273 4BBL, just like the above post.

I don't know about your poll but I too hate pants.
