Re: Prices (was Re: 273 Engine for Sale)

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 273, in my 2900 lb car, was getting 24-25mpg with the 4-speed before 
rebuild when I didn't hot rod it..  I think I'm average about 15-18mpg 
now, but have been playing and had my foot in the carb frequently.

Add weight, reduce mileage.  Not sure what the ratio is to a b-body.

You'll want to check to see if it is cable shift, or linkage.  Not sure 
if its a 65 or 66 trans he is talking about.

Engine has aftermarket cam, lifters, manifold, carb, etc. It runs great, it is STILL IN THE CAR so you can come hear it run, do a compression test, etc. $1000 for just the engine, $750 for just the trans, or $1500 for both."
