Great project to start with. Let me know if I can help you out.

The only steering difference is the centerlink/draglink. The /6 throttle is a twist rod and the V8 is a pull so that will need swapped.

That's great! Now when I read it, I actually thought about that when I took the linkage off..

Welcome, and nice little project you have there! It looks like the 273 you bought has the exact motor mounts that you will need to drop the 273 into your Dart. If that engine came out of a car that is being parted out....hurry up and go back and get that V8 center link for the steering. If you are REALLY lucky, and the motor and transmission you bought came out of a 66 A body, and all of the linkage for the transmission will still be available, you can grab that too. Good luck with the project, and I'm looking forward to watching it come together. :)

Thanks!! Unfortunately the engine and transmission was bought from a guy who, in his turn got it from someone else..
I do have a push button console laying around that came with the car.. But I have no idea on how to connect it, that's a problem for another day! :p
