Re: Mopar 273-4bbl Combo
Paul, one thing that I have found about Chrysler Racers is that the "factory" books generally say what ever the Racers want them to say. When I go looking for the reality of it all, I go to the collectors and restorers. Cars worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on the auction block aren't pieced together with a Racers hearsay.

Re: Mopar 273-4bbl Combo
I told James to post on here about the car he wanted to build. Certain people have turned this post into something else. I think if someone new wants to get involved in class racing they should be encouraged not deluged with all the BS that this has turned into. I for one am thankful he is not a sheep and building another Camaro.

Re: Mopar 273-4bbl Combo
and you're absolutely right. I would never want to discourage anyone building whatever it is that they want to build (especially a Stocker!). Good luck with your build Mr. Miller and have fun with it!

Hey dog not sure what MR. D.C. is referring to? But fact is in 1966 MOTHER MOPAR had NO fresh air on anything, no books required!!! NONE!!! but they're out there.

Re: Mopar 273-4bbl Combo
I can appreciate Mr. Nees appreciation for keeping Stock pure, but I think the horses knocked down the barn and burnt it to the ground. All the Edelbrock heads and whatever else that has been approved, but on the other hand I can sympathize with someone running an old combo like a MW Mopar and trying to find good old heads and crossram, or even worse aluminum body panels. I'm sure a lot of racers with other brands have the same problems.
We did get a bit off track from my original request for suggestions. I've talked to Paul Wong a bit and got some good advice from him and others. I'm not out to set records or whatever. I am having trouble throttling my engine builder back as his thing is Full Tilt Boogie Engines. I don't want to pour that much money into the project. Thanks for everyone's input and info. I didn't think I'd hardly get a post on here and the thread sort of had a life of it's own. I didn't know there were so many (less than 10 really, but that's still a lot for a 273 Mopar) people interested in this combo.

Re: Mopar 273-4bbl Combo
I'm pretty sure you're right about that, I can't remember seeing anything at that time. What car are they using the fresh air on? Very few models had scoops thru those years 62-69, only Max Wedge, Hemi or 440-6. 70 up there where a lot. Almost forgot, air grabber on the RR-Super Bee. How could they get that allowed? Ask the old guys, they know. That's why I like the Stockers, right off the show room look. Makes me feel like I'm back in those days again.
