Mopar Blasts From The Past

Bill,
Don't bet too heavily on that... LOL!

As you're probably aware, the head with the casting number ending in "302" (actually,4323302) is now legal on a 273. I think that was a 318 head introduced around 1986, with the same size valves, but supposedly better-flowing ports and a high-swirl combustion chamber... allegedly worth something.

Still, 12-flat is moving for a 273/automatic car in (K/SA) at 2,900 pounds. I THINK Larry Hollums does that motor, so, that explains a lot.. LOL! Anybody remember the SS/IA car of Winter/Esslinger (another Hollums effort)???
'nuf sed.

Bill
