273 is it good engine?
Depends on what you want to do. I have always been a big fan of the good 'ol Slant Six.
The 273 however has 2 more cylinders and has more horsepower than the six.
However, a swap from the 6 to the V8 has some variables.If automatic the Slant Six 904 can't be used with the 273 V8.If manual same goes as far as Bell Housing and related parts.The Manual 3 speed can be reused.K frames are the same. Motor mount brackets and insulators are different,etc.Looks like your Dart is a 64 and that's good as 64 was the first year for the 273.Chrysler changes the 64 fire wall to make room for the V8.
