Quote: I bought this today from a buddy. Its a 273 manifold that I really dont need. However it will make a nice shop decoration if nothing else. But I was considering building a 318 or 360 for the 38 Plymouth business coupe and thought it may give it a nice look.
I dont want to spend the $$$ to build a 273 for it as 360s here are very cheap.
I know some of these can be used on 318s, ect but also know or heard that the early ones can not. I dont have a 318/ 360 here at this time to check it on.
Any ideas. The part # is 5488 and its an Offey???
here is a pic or two.

Why not a 273. Really not much to build one unless you want to spend the $$ on forged pistons. You can get a good street CR out of the 2bl motor with a little machine work. As far as the manifold that's what is on my motor that I posted pics here.
John, nice looking motor. What kind of HP will it put out? And you used the stock pistons and rebuild kit???
