yes the question was if the 273 and 318 bolt pattern to the stringers was the same as I didnt want to let this engine pass, knew it was smaller? but dont really care about the topspeed as much as finding a good deal that got my boat on the water this year in stead of next m thanks

Most likely the same . But you can always swap the mounts .

What area you in ? Tonys engine maybe worth checking into .

Apparently the 273 is the same engine desing, Marysville marine has parts book thru 1974 showing it as 273/318/360.

They are what was once Chrysler Marine.
