273 235HP Barracuda
 

I have been looking at this combination, an was wondering why more people don't utilize this combination? It has .100 domes, solid lift cam with decent lift, and a carter afb carb.

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?

Here in Div. 6, Bill Bushmakers daughter Angela runs a 65 Valiant with this combination, and it is a pretty strong runner.

There is a new one being finished in Div. 7 and I have
a hunch it will be very FAST!

I was thinking that it would be a killer combo. Just goes to show some of my late night research is paying off!

I remember some guy having a maroon Dart GT with a 273 and a 4 speed. Other than the Cragar SS's, it was pretty stock, and that thing would really surprise you.Another thing that was out there that was silent but deadly was a 340 4 speed Duster. Too bad more of those weren't produced. I guess 383 Road runners, 440 GTX's and the mighty Hemi got most of the attention back then.

Matt Steen runs a 273/235 Valiant in SS/K also. Has run 10.50s I believe. Matt is located in Minnesota.

Never saw a slow 340,,,back in the day, on the street,, or even up to today on the track, I was always amused by the factory "275" horsepower rating!

Think the 340 Duster...was quite common in SS/I...and SS/IA back in the day...
