It is strictly a cruiser. I was truly surprised how peppy the car was with a 4 speed. At first i expected to ditch the 273 asap, but soon changed my mind. Most "think" the 273 motor as high revving, its more a long stroke small bore torgue motor in the LA family, IMO My suggestion, a 318 can be had for free almost, and you hvce 45 more cubes out of the box. Best bang, is a 360. mods are all the same pretty much on all the LA's. I would consider putting the 273 on the shelf. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
