I think if you look around some of the other forums, you'll find someone who's selling a 273. I know I've seen a few in different threads on this site. You can het them from the USA or Canada as they were sold in both countries. I can't imagine what the shipping charge would be. My best...

A little update.. Picked up a front frame rail and cross member in great shape from chryslerfat. (Thanks again Mike!!) Still trying to find a decent floor pan. I'm in no rush tho, the money tree needs time to grow! Cheers! Turn n burn..

I am trying to keep it as close as I can, with the addition of some little things here and there. My Dad still has the original pistons that were in the motor. And no, I'd never think of re-using them, but I might try n gear up a fuel fill cap from the dome of one... I'll find a way to...

Thanks you. I couldn't have said it better.

Thanks dartcharger. Wow, thats a lot of info. It does help. Without the heads on the motor, it's hard to tell the compression ratio. They'll need to be sent to the shop anyway and be touched up. As far as using them for boat anchors, I'll pass. Although it's not an all original build, I'd...

Finally back on line. Had to get new security software for the computer. Thats a great job on the floor pan Dartman. Hope mine looks that good when I get done.. I'm not in any hurry tho. Takes a lot of time and money, and I don't need to mention patience..

My internet is down. Can you send me an email at nraimey45@live.ca. It goes to my cell. Take way 2 long this way.. Thanks

Not sure when the modle change would've been, but I seem to remember that the '65 mustang came out in 1964 and a half...

Thanks for the info, I'll measure the floor and see if I can make it work, that is if the guy ever gets back with a price. He also has a decent cross member that the torsion bars sit into.

I started another thread under the small block section for the motor issues. Hopefully I'll get it figured out...

I'm looking for some help. I have 2, 273 engine short blocks here from my Dads old '66 Canadian Valiant (same as the American Dodge Dart). They haven't run since '76 and are not in the best of shape. The cylinders are pretty rusted. The only thing in the blocks are the cams. Not sure how...

I'd like to start a post, but I can't seem to figure it out. Not much to post yet really. Just some really sad pics of the ole girl. Kinda like taken a picture of the wife or gf before make-up or when they just get outta bed.. Don't want her to get mad at me. haha I did start my shed...

Thanks I know a lot of A body parts will fit from 66 to 72. Thats what I'm told anyway. I'll check the links out. I'm havin a had time figuring this site out. Haven't been on it long enough I guess. I'll try n start a thread later today. Better run. Just found out I got hockey in an...

Actually, the motor is just one of the many issue's I have to contend with. I had an add on Kijiji, maybe you saw it. It said, "Parts needed for resurection". She's in bad shape. It's the first car I can ever recall riding in. It hasn't seen the road since '76... Floor's gone. Try finding...

Hey Mike I checked out your build progress. I'm speechless really. You busy next weekend?? (and every weekend for the next 2 years...) LOL I did find 2 differences between the blocks. One has the 2 pins on top of the block that go into the intake, and also, the motor mount is a 4 bolt on one...
