Chrysler 2.4 (not World) is 2.0 with balance shafts, other minor changes.

The 2.2 is the only Chrysler four-cylinder to have both carburetors and fuel injectors, depending on the year.

Andrew Costa provided these breakdowns of the slant sixes (which all had a bore of 3.40625 inches):

1983.64198.01970-74
2254.125225.51960-83

The 225 continued in truck/marine use through 1991.

Australian vehicles used slant sixes as well as home-modified straight sixes which were much more powerful and originally intended for use in American trucks. None was every fuel injected, though Chrysler did make test fuel-injected slant sixes. Full slant six page.

Straight sixes

  • 4.0 IL-6 (AMC-derived) -- Cherokee, Wagoneer, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee
  • 4.2 IL-6 (AMC) -- Wrangler
  • 245 and 265 Australian straight-six, including Hemi Six-Pack - Valiant, Charger, Pacer
    • 215 - 3.520" x 3.680"

The "big" Chrysler flathead eight was a 385 cubic inch engine (384.8 to be exact) made from 1931-37 for the CG, CH, CL, CW, and CW*; it had a bore of 3.5 inches and a stroke of 5 inches.

8.0 V-10

Viper, Ram trucks. (Ram version used through end of 2002).

Some Details

Gary Howell clarified:

Small blocks

  • 273/318/340/360 are LA engines, and they look the same from the outside.
  • 273 cu. in. 1964-69 3.31 stroke and 3.63 bore
  • 318 cu. in. 1968-91 3.31 stroke and 3.91 bore
  • 340 cu. in. 1968-73 3.31 stroke and 4.04 bore
  • 360 cu. in. 1971-91 3.58 stroke and 4.00 bore

The A engines (not LA) are older small blocks and look the same on the outside. The blocks are different in deck height, but share some internal components with the LA block. The cylinder heads and intake are different.

  • 277 cu. in. 1956 3.75 bore and 3.12 stroke
  • 301 cu. in. 1957 3.91 bore and 3.12 stroke
  • 318 cu. in. 1957-67 3.91 bore and 3.31 stroke

The Magnum 318 and 360 engines are LA engines with different cylinder heads. The blocks are physically the same as the earlier LA engines, except the oil passage for the shaft mounted rockers is not drilled, because the Magnum engines oil through the push rods. The boss is there if you need to use the old style heads.

Big Blocks

There are eight different big blocks. The B blocks are short deck and the RBs are tall deck. The RBs require a wider intake manifold.

B: 350, 361, 383, 400
RB: 383, 413, 426 Wedge (not Hemi), 440

All B engine use 3.38" stroke, and all RB engines use 3.75" stroke. There were two different 383s; the RB is very rare, only produced in 1959 and 1960. The 350 was only produced in 1958. The RB was only made because the Trenton Engine plant was not flexible enough, at the time, to make enough engines otherwise - it had a dedicated B line and a dedicated RB line. They resolved the issue and the need for the RB 383 disappeared.

Frank McMullen added: "While the RB 383 was only sold for the 1959 and 1960 model years, 109,000 Chrysler Windsors and Saratogas rolled out of the factories with the RB-383 engine. There were no RB-383 engines after the 1960 model year; the 1961 Saratoga used a B-383. The RB 383 is essentially an 'underbored 413' (although it did have different cores and water jackets... so one cannot simply take their RB 383 and bore it out to use more common B or RB pistons)."
