How about putting a 4 speed in my O Stock 68 Chevelle wagon? 5.86 gears, the lowest first geared 4 speed I can find, and about a 12 pound flywheel. Yaa-Hooo! Only problem,who wants to pay to maintain it?

I agree! One heck of an N/Stocker

AMC or 273 ? I don't know which is better...I suspect it would be the one with the bigger carb ;-)

Carb for the 273 is pretty small. Maybe 500 cfm

It isn't bad to maintain it. Soft clutch andna good trans. Jerico with a 3.29. I am sure the G Force gkes lower, but is a quite a bit heavier.

I know the came combination can be ran in valiants and darts. However, I haven't seen any of the 65-67 darts/valiants/barracudas using the combination. Could this be a decent combination?
If you want to stay in the mopar family build a 290 amc. I just built quality 273 235 hp motor and it would get crushed by a good 290 amc. The ramblers will work great and will fly.
