Parts were a lot more interchangeable back then, your 210 had two motor options; your stock 235 inline 6 cylinder, and the 283 V8. You can swap the V8 in place of the 6, with some minor changes to motor mounts and you need the V8 bellhousing and then the V8 throttle linkage. A lot of the parts would carry over, like wire harness, driveshaft, fuel line. Check out trifive.com, they have tons of posts on various motor swaps for these cars. BTW if your engine is the original for this car, keep it, even if you swap in another motor. This way the car can still be returned to a numbers matching car for resale value, or at least include the original motor should you ever sell it.
