Here are some pictures I took. The engine has been pulled because its locked up. Im going to stick with the 273 and rebuild it.
it looks like a champagne color but theres a ton of patina on it now.
Just picked this up from a member. Solid car, everything there and in pretty good to real good shape. Anxious to get started.

Not sure if u can help but we're losing oil pressure on the 318 marine motor in the 66. Got aby suggestions? Too does the oil pan lie in the top or the bottom of the oil pan? Thx for any new info. JIf you own a 66 Dart please respond to this post. There seems to be a lot of us here lately. Post your favorite photo of your car too. toolmanmike
Welcome to FABO. I'm not sure what you mean by "losing oil pressure". It's progressively getting worse at all rpms? Just bad at idle? Both hot and cold? The oil pan question makes no sense to me. Maybe you mean oil pump or sump screen? Basically if you know for sure that the oil pressure is not good, it's usually worn out bearings. Sometimes a faulty pump can also cause that but since it's the first thing that gets oil, it rarely goes bad where the bearings are still good. Test the engine with a good live-line oil pressure gauge to verify the oil pressure's actually low. Many times the sender can go bad and give a false reading.Not sure if u can help but we're losing oil pressure on the 318 marine motor in the 66. Got aby suggestions?

Here is ours. Purchase from original owner. 6 cylinder 3 speed on column.
Did the 66 Dart GT's come with the 904 or the 727? Not sure how to tell them apart, mine is covered in gunk right now.
All '66 Darts with an automatic had the 904 transmission from the factory. Yours could have been changed sometime in it's life however. Usually you have to "message" the firewall a bit for clearence but it will fit. The pan on a 904 is shaped like a square with one cornre cut off. The 727 has an irregular shape with a bulge in the pan around the dip stick tube area. It also uses a 29/30 spline output shaft instead of the 25/26 version and most 727's have a longer output shaft and extension housing.Did the 66 Dart GT's come with the 904 or the 727?
