Howdy Dan, I'm no expert here, but I am rebuilding a 270 hemi right now. I paid $350 for it with the overdrive tranny. I sold the tranny for $350.00 (!) and have been throwing fistfulls of money at this engine every month. If you just want to get it running, it should work out okay for you, but I tore it all the way down and have been in the process of a rebuild. There are only a handful of places that have these old "baby hemi" parts. I kid around that I would have been better off buying a 426 as there are aftermarket parts out there. Still costly, but more parts are available.
There aren't a lot of "performance" parts for these at all. Most stuff is just stock. I was lucky enough to at least have a four barrel on mine. Drop me an e-mail and I'll try to help you out with what I know... that should take about 30 seconds.
Dana
