Need a 4bbl intake with carb for 69 dodge 273
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. Email me Donmac34@aol.com |
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.

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.

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.
