The 235 HP 273 was a regular production option, in High school I owned a 65 Valiant Signet with the 235 273 4 speed, and there were several others in the area, both 65 & 66.

You could get the 273/235 in all the A bodies except for the wagons. I've got a 65 Valiant 2dr sedan minus engine sitting in my "on deck" circle waiting for it's turn in the garage.

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

Cool Re: 273 235HP Barracuda

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?
