That sound like my kind of area
Yes sir, but like said, you can put a nice 318 in there , 91 318 low mileage roller lifter La motor, I have one set aside. Yep a good pick in my book
Agree
If I didn't have my 360 and wanted to remove myself from the 65 trans and 273 engine stuff, a 318 la would be my engine choice, a 91 roller with 61 thousand on it and the trans fell in my lap, I got lucky.
It's supposed to be.Well... I've brought in my Consigliere to work through it. A short term fix will lead to problems in the future. Interim could be another motor but that's money away from what I want... soooo.
This hobby is fun right?
Ehhh I’d say the only thing harder is a gen 1 hemi parts. Poly parts I can find all day long and twice on Sunday. And really, they’re only marginally more expensive than an LA. I’m fact, with the right part combos, it’ll use LA pistons. The hardest thing to find is intakes, but little known fact is that an LS carb intake will bolt on. As will early Fox body 5.0 GT headers.Machine shop said the only thing more of a PITA for finding parts than an early 273 was..... A Poly..
I likeSpeaking of Gen 1 hemis. Here is one with a 6x2 intake I made. Pic was from the building process. Couldn't pass up an offer I got. Not sure if the guy ever got it running.

Spool mounts in 73 for sure and think 71 and 72 are pancake mounts if I have the definition correct.LA small block motor mounts changed in 73 to spools right?
What's gotta change on a 71 318 motor?
Wow....I can't keep up with this thread at times.
