looking for a 4bbl intake with carb for a 69 dodge 273 motor.
Would prefer stock intake but aftermarket is ok provided that it will fit the 273.

Edelbrock street master ?? SP2P manifold ??

 

is it for sale? or are you recommending it?

 

Just a suggestion. You don't want to go to large on the intake . Heads have small ports

 

the last year for the 273 was 1967. the 340 came out in 1968 as a much hier performance engine. NHRA refactored the HP of the 340 at least 3 times. since you have a 2 bbl carb you must have a 318. if you have a 1969. as the 360 didnt come out till 1970 or 1971.

 

Wrong...273 continued 'til '69...4bbl version stopped in '67, as well as the solid cam....hydraulic cam and 2bbl carb. for '68/'69.

 

Dealer friend bought a ? 71 340 RR with a bad engine. Put a 318 in it... So 30 years later anything is possible as to engine Try and read the casting #'s on the side if the block by the starter

 

yep i mistakenly thought that the last year for the 273 was 67 cause the 340 came out in 68. oops sorry. a close friend bought a new 68 barracuda fastback, 340, 4 speed. VERY fast. this site is a lot better than some.

 

might be a stupid question but why put a 4 barrel on an engine that runs better with a 2 barrel on it?

 

cause some people think that bigger is ALL WAYS better. a good running engine is a SYSTEM. not a part here and a part there. if you look at ALL the high performance cars by chrysler you will see that the parts on each car is NOT a bunch of misfits. its a system. take a 1965 chrysler 300 L. it is the only 300 with a single carb. thats NOT by accident. same with the rest, a 1966 street hemi, it was not ment to be as fast as a RACE HEMI, so thats what they made. ITS NOT AN ACCIDENT.

 

Are you kidding!!! The 273 2bbl carb is junk!! Obviously, you've never driven one. The AFB 4 barrel for that year is a vastly superior carb, even on the 2 barrel engines. Any 4bbl carb will wake up a 2 bbl 273, Carter or Holley.

 

dont forget the 273 4 bbl carb is about the smallest 4 bbl ever made. and it is sized right for a 273. like i said if chrysler made it its a SYSTEM.
