According to a site with data from Galen Govier, 2,066 Dodge Dart 270 convertibles were produced in 1966, but the 270 was a separate trim line. According to another site with data from Krause's Chrysler Catalog, there were approximately 8,700 Dodge Dart GT Sixes and 10,000 Dodge Dart GT V8s built in 1966, but they don't break out the data for convertibles

Finally put the top down today.
The procedure is about the same but the exhaust conversion is a bit more involved because of the exhaust port size difference between the 273 and the 360 heads. You either have to install some custom headers or use 273/318 heads and the stock manifolds unless you're willing to cut the inner fenders. If you have manual steering, you can also use the '68-70 340 manifolds with some minor mods. The engine mounts, torque converter, and oil pan are the only other significant differences between the 360 and the 273 when it comes to installation. There are some other minor things like the crank hole diameter for the converter button and the ignition timing marks but those are easily overcome.
I will try to get some more pictures up soon, I'm new to the site and the help already has been appreciated.
I used a rad for a 70 340 Dart in my 66 Cuda with a 360. I bought it new at Autozone.Finally getting ready to put the motor in. But here is a question. I need a radiator, any suggestions? 66 Dart with a 318 conversion..
