2 BBL only. Compression somewhere around 8.5:1. No 273/4V hypo motors with the SW. Bill Koski is selling one in the classified but it is a sedan/hardtop.

Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
Go to NHRARACER.COM and look up the vehicle you want to run. Click on Stock Car Classification, then click on the year under the make you want to run. This will give you the info you want; motor, hp, weight, index. Then look under Engine Specs to find out about motor combo you want to run. Some will be auto only, some might be 2 bbl or 4 bbl only motors. I love wagons.

Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
If my memory serves me correct the 4bbl Hi-Po motor only came in the Dart and Barracuda and I think it was a 10.25:1 motor w/solid cam.
The 273 CI wagon only came with a 2bbl Carter Ball&Ball carburetor. Not sure if a 4 speed was available. I am pretty sure you are going to have to run 8.5:1 CR pistons in your combo. However, a 65 Plymouth Wagon would be a cool piece. Did the wagon come with a 361 or a 383 in 65? I would check out the big block combo because I think they were available with a 4bbl.

Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
A friend of mine used to run a 1965 Plymouth Valiant with the 273. I remember him telling me the 1965 273 had a bigger carb. From the specs from NHRA, it looks like the Stromberg has a slightly larger venturi than the Carter BBD.
180 273 DP 8.8 1-2 B&B BBD-3843S/SM 3844S/AUTO 2463252 1.5 M 57.3 B,5 Carter Carb sizes – 1437/1063 Strom Carb sizes – 1437/1125 It also looks like the 318s got a bigger carb. I never knew they were different.
