I traded for a 65 273 cuda, totally apart. I've got into this before, but years ago it was with putting back together e body, 68-70 b body , 70 duster. yes the guy takes EVERYTHING apart, takes off glove box door, latch out of it etc. I have 63 and 65 darts i'm building, slant cars, have a 65 dart shop manual. have access to 65 dart and cuda, 273 motors in them ,, missing some stuff there.
I did search on here for 273 info but nothing really comes up pertinent for it. shop manual confusing and I realize there was different things going on between models, A and B body back in that era, cable shift tranny carb, carb and tranny linkages,,, etc. AND yes I will get pics posted when I get it drug home! LOL
I noticed this, car has original cable operated gas pedal, and cable thru firewall. ( engine isn't in there), in a bo0x was a rod operated kickdown. in another 65 cuda parts car, there sits a cable operated tranny. my car was console car, auto, has 7 1/4 , I understand a 273 2 bbl motor could have come wioth this rear... what i'm wondering is what came on the 273 2 bbl, cable tranny??? I assume cable operated throttle??? the consol
e shift car, could it have been rod actuated???? I think not.....
its a great body, has new seat covers installed, new carpet, , gas tank, rebuilt front end, brakes, but car is a part. the guy my buddy got it from was going to put in big block, he stripped it to bare metal and let it sit, LOL,
so has surface rust starting.....
question: 65 cuda 273 2 bbl motor, was the tranny a 727 or 904??? trunnion style????? cable operated tranny ( console shift),
another question: I read on here somewhere the 273 had 4 bbl intakes, where it bolt pattern were the same, but some had different angles for the bolts?? so if I changed over to a 4 bbl intake, a 65 engine needs intake for that particular motor????? if so does anyone know what casting numbers I would be hunting???
thanks for any info.... no one said ma mopar made it easy!??? LOL maybe after its done, paint FIAT on the qtr!? LOL
