They, believe it or not, are almost as big a draw as a Xram. People will walk by my car, stop, and say Oh it's a HI PO 273 - Kewl. Of course the four barrel has something to do with it, but if you put the correct valve covers on it, people notice. I have even changed them out with some Cal Customs I have, everyone just walks by the car and never notices the motor. Strange but true. 1) yes, its solid, but a smaller lift 2) cast iron adjustible 3) Yes Not sure if a LeSalle tranny will bolt up. If your going old school, I would find a poly 318 to use. It would fit the bill better. Don't get me wrong, I think the 273 is a great engine, but it looks just like every other LA small block.
