If you make it a 67 by filling side markers and some trim changes. The 68 273 is not a good combo. The 318 is plenty defactored if you want to use it as a 68. You will be punishing yourself with an early slant 6.

Thank you paul, I got the beast for $200 complete. Now I have to figure out to keep it as a street car with great gas mileage or turn it into a stocker

I never tried the 170. The 225 1 barrel would run under the index but they are extremely weather sensitive and Mike Jeffery pretty much killed the 2 barrel combo. V8 probably wouldn't cost any more to build.
