I need to rebuild the engine in a 65 signet convertible I just snagged. First off I need to know for sure that the V8 is in fact a 273. Can someone here tell me where the number is on the engine block? Also, any help and links to parts information would be helpful. Where is a good source for an engine complete rebuild kit? I also need a drivers side front fender. I'm also interested in finding metal to replace the rust holes around both rear quarters. All information would be greatly appreciated. Steve |

Hi Widget, you should look on the driver's side of the block to find the casting number. The last three numbers denote the displacement. -James |

Pop off a valve cover and look at the rocker arms. If they have adjuster nuts on them, 99.9% of the time it is a 273. Regular stamped-steel rockers with no adjusters is a 318-360-340. |

James, where on the drivers side of the block? There is a lot of grease. Sure, I plan on yanking out the engine, but I'd like to start finding parts while the weather here settles over the next week. |

Engine ID can be found, usually, driver's side front of the block or on the drivers side of the block near the freeze out plugs. Russ |

Sounds about right. The numbers will be cast in rather than stamped. I think it's cool you're building a 273. Those are sweet little engines.Russ -James |
