Yes a 383 will fit. My car was a 318, 383 fit No problem all v8 k members the same except hemi, and slant six. My car is a '67 b body
 
You will need to change the transmission as well, but it will swap.
 
Will need a big block transmission, different driveshaft n other supporting goods.
 
It will bolt in like it was made for it. The 273 has a 904 so the driveshaft won’t work with a BB727. Nice of Chrysler to put an 8 3/4 in the 273 cars.

Does your car have AC? My car had a provision for 26" radiator. I suppose a "22 will work ok.
 
Just did this exact 273/383 swap. It fits.

Not sure if you going with headers ?
If you need the log exhaust manifolds that will fit 66/67 b or rb combo i have a set of them I will never use.
You can have them no cost but shipping if you want them.
 
The distributor is in the front so the engine harness will need to be modified or replaced.
If you have power steering you'll need different brackets.
It's also a bit heavier so you'll need to crank up the torsion bars.
 
You'll need different mount brackets to put the engine on the k-frame. I just happen to have a package from 440 Source with all the pieces. NIB[ new in box]. PM me if interested.
 
My 383, formerly 318 car, yes it's a 4 door sedan.
