MOPAR 273

MOPAR 273

Before the 340 there was the 273. These were available in Darts, Chargers, and Barracudas as well as other models. This one came to the shop for a stock rebuild. Most came with a two barrel carburetor but this one has a four barrel manifold. We swapped the Carter AFB 480 for a Edelbrock 600. These engines made 180 HP and we got this one to 218 HP and 243 TQ.  Back in the day you could order a Power Pak option which had 10.5:1 domed pistons, bigger solid lift cam, and a dual point distributor. These made 235 HP and 280 TQ with the free-flowing SINGLE EXHAUST!!!
