Hi.
I was told to run 3.875 pistons and 5.7 rods from Chevy 250. Will it work?
Now, take a look to manifold and carbs that are waiting on the shelf to be installed:

Those carbs are common here, but don't think you have it there in USA. Anyway, it's nice to know new things.
These 153 engine will run with flat top pistons, 262H Isky cam and kit (also springs, shims, etc.), Manley SS 1.94 and 1.60 valves, Crane Roller Rockers, 10:1 compression ratio, manual 3 speed 3.54 ratio rear-end, ported heads, tube headers, MSD ignition & maybe wiring and this carburation setup.
The idea is for a fast street car for my dad with original painting in bad conditions. Just to see new guys in their import small cars not knowing what was so fast.
Some pics of my dad's car:
It's a 1973 Chevy Opala with L4 153 engine and a 3-speed manual gearbox on the steering column.
