I took a quick look at engine dimensions on the web and it looks like =
the Mopar 273 was the same dimension as the small block ford except it =
was an inch taller. With the distributor issue, I wonder how much time =
they actually spent on discussing an engine replacement. One of the =
things about Tigers is: The stories are endless. And fun! Lol=20
