Yes two 273's were offered
one was a 185 hp 2bbl / 8.5 to 1 compression
second was a 245 hp 4bbl / 10.5 to 1 compression
both were solid lifter motors
the latter was an option for all barracudas but mainly found in the formula S cars backed by a 4 speed.
fourmula S cars were the top of the line barracudas for 65-66 standard disk brakes,14 inch wheels,larger rearend,suretrack,swaybars,extra badges on exterior,console car.
Like anything else back then you could get most of these options on a standard cuda [except the badges].

My very first car was a 65 Dodge Coronet station wagon in a light blue. 318, auto. Loved that car. Great for dates to the drive-in though
That car was tough. Used to put it in neutral, rev it up and drop it in low. Finally busted a motor mount and ran the fan through the radiator. Fixed that and all was good. Transmissions were bullet proof.
Aaah...the good old days.
