There is lots of info of the site, you could search some old posts. There is also a lot of similarities between early a bodies as well. What do you need to know more precisely?
 
I Seem To Be Having Trouble Finding A Solid Cam And Lifter Set Up, Headers Seem To Be A Problem With Everyone With This Year. I Am Also Wondering If I Should Go With A 360 And Scrap The 273 Rebuild
 
You can get a cam from mopar performance(MP) AKA direct connection, I have a couple books with different ones available depending on lift, duration etc. like a P4529346 which is a mech. cam at 276/276 degree advertised duration .490/.490" lift, 52 deg overlap. I found a set of headers through Keystone made by Hedman Keystone's product #H5675110 but they wont work if you have P/S, A/C, and may require shifter link to modified. I hope this helps.
 
there are a couple of other cams from MP if you would like the part #'s or specs on them. I dont know if the headers would be available to you if your in the USA because I got that # in Keystone's catalouge from Canadian Tire (my part time job). There is a company called Nationial Mo-parts that deal with nothing but mopar stuff, their web site is nationalmoparts.com.
 
If you have the funds the 360 or stroker small block is a great upgrade over the somewhat limited 273 even for a street car

TTI is making us early A body guys a great header
 
you can checkout shumacher creative sevices, they sell conversion mounts for 273-360, where one mount is more offset for the 340/360. 360 and 904 with a external balance b&m flexplate would fit fine, but to get a nice header fit, tti headers may be your only choice, and they're a bit pricey. they rock though.
 
The 360 will drop right in place of the 273 and the 904 bolts right up - as long as you don't have the push button shifter, which I don't think you do. The driver's side mount will need a couple of washers to take up the space difference between the block ears and the mount (about 1/4 inch on mine I believe), and you can weld a piece onto the mount to pick up the third mounting point on the block. As mentioned, you'll need either a B&M flexplate, or just a torque converter with the 360 balance weights on it. The only other thing to watch is the 7.25" rear end you probably have in there. Some of them aren't too strong, although I've been running one behind my modified 360 for about 18 years now and it's still going strong. The one before that lasted about 11 years behind a pretty strong 318. Good luck.
 
I Was Looking To Install Either A 360 From A 71 - 74 Car I.d # F,j,k, Or L, Or I Was Going To Use The 318 Out Of My 74 Trailduster Which Is Smogged To The Hilt. What's A Good Idea
 
Any of the 360's will fit, the 904 from the 273 will bolt right up to the 360 also. You can thrash can any of the smog equipment when you build the engine. Just remember you need a 360 balanced torque converter or a B & M flexplate to make it work.
