You can tell Plymouth was not serious about performance with this car as they omitted basic dual exhaust. Wasn't even an option.

Well maybe, but they were just warming up to the performance segment here which offered the 340 in 68, 340 6 pack in 70, the 440 in 69 for the Barracuda, and 440 6pack and 426 Hemi in the E body by 1970. Not a bad list of motors for the performance sector.

273 couldn't nowhere match the Ford 289 or Chevy 283.

Sure, but it was just Chrysler's warm up to some of the most potent V8 engines ever built.
