Coming along! I'd do the 340, just because i think they are a cool motor, but if you are trying to stay original go 273.
that's hilarious- my Scamp has one in the exact same spot (driver side though). But that one was my faultLove it, and Im jealous! Your farther along with your body work already! Whats up with people catching the quarter panels on the garage. My 69 has the same damage. Looked like grandma caught the side of the garage while backing out!

The Valiant got painted yesterday should have some pictures up later today!
Gimme,some input on what y'all think I Should re-build the original 273 probably, expensive parts wise.I have a '68 date coded 340 block which will definitely be expensive to put together,or i have a 318 '72 dated block i could put together. I'm pretty sure that steel crank out of the original 273 motor will work with any block. I know the 340 will probably give me a little more than the 318,but I'm not sure it will be worth it to me as far as cost is concerned.Anybody that has some valid suggestions would sure be appreciated. Thanks Larry.
I thought the scoops were offset so they sit flush across the top of them???
