1966 Dart 273 question

The 2 barrel 273 was available accross the board in all 64-66 early A body Darts, Valiants and Barracudas, and would be backed by a 904 trans! D/Darts only came with the 4 barrel version of the 273, and with a special cam and header package that gave it much more power! 2 barrel motors were sporting 180 horses, the 4 barrel versions were 235 horse, and the D/Dart motor was 275 horse! Chances of finding a D/Dart are almost nil, it is probably a 2 barrel 273!

As a matter of reference, the trans will have a rear slip joint for a U joint driveshaft front and back, which is a plus! However, you will need to use that trans with a 273 as the converter snout is smaller than the 318 and are not interchangeable! The 66 front spline count will not accept a later converter with the bigger snout, and vise versa!!

I also believe that manual steering was standard on all early A bodies, with power steering being an option!
