Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
I looked up Bill Koski 's car it's a 66 273 2 barrel with a 4 speed so I Think I can run a 4 speed because I think it was an option in my year not sure who I would check wit to be sure!

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.

Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
The 4 speed is no problem it is legal....160 hp rated stock heads,
167 hp rated with Edelbrock 60767 replacement heads....with the 2 bbl carb, small bore and valves hard to say if the 60767 heads would be worth the cost.....also the Stromberg carb is a legal replacement D L Rambo....STK 1300 |

Re: 65 Plymouth wagon
With all of the Killer cars in U/SA, and there is a bunch, I would give some strong thought about going with a 361 w/2bbl,or a 383 w/4bbl AFB ! Or even a 426 Wedge w/4bbl AFB ! The parts are available anywhere, and cheap ! No 4sp in Wagons in 65 ! I think ! ..John
