Alan,
Be careful on some of those Marine intakes. Check the carb-mounting angle first. Some where angled downward (at idle), to allow for the carb to reach a level angle, when the boat was throttling up. Does not work well on the street. ,,,,Jim R, Did not know that on the C/FX cars. See what you learn here. But back in 65' and early 66', it was difficult to get performance parts for the 273...
I'm not even sure if Hooker made headers for them. Everyone was using
Doug Headers,,,,,Alex, that 9 1/4" clutch unit, made by Auburn (I think),
wasn't that a lovely clutch-package.
