No, as the 235-bhp 273-cid V8 was part of the Formula S package, you could not get the slant six. There were no engine choices in the package.
The Dodge Dart GT (Dart's version of the Signet) came standard with either the slant six or the 2-bbl 273 V8. Dodge did offer virtually all the Formula S options (except the medallions, tachometer and the wheel covers) on the Dart plus 14" Cragar mag wheels. It was possible to order a Barracuda with virtually all the Formula S equipment as well without the Formula S medallions. The 235-bhp 273 was offered as the optional Commando V8 engine on the Valiant (except wagons) and Barracuda and as a nameless engine on the Dart (except wagons).
And, no, the 4-bbl 273 V7 was not called the "Charger 273" by the factory.
There was "Charger 273" 'package' but it was not a factory offering. It was
a California dealer inspired package .
As disc brakes were a dealer-installed option, they were not restricted to any particular series or package.

Actually, and this might start a fight, and i will eat my hat if i am wrong, i believe u could get the Formula S with a slant six, I saw one once. ALSO The 65 Dodge dart GT ( which had about most( some) of the formula S stuff (sway, front discs) could also be got with the slant six Neal Zimmerman, Eugene Oregon
