As a huge Mopar fan I thank you for making this video to showcase how badass Mopar (Chrysler Group) are. However you left out 2 of their best loved cult favorites, the 440 and the slant six. those 2 engines are absolute power houses.Cant believe you didn't include them. Still a good video though (y)
rotatingglasssafe My dad has 70 Duster with a slant 6 that pulls low 13's In the 1/4 mile.
rotatingglasssafe i approve this comment
rotatingglasssafe slant 6 for the win
Davis Tuck hail the leaning tower of power
440, 383, and "the leaning tower of
power.
I've had a B block and RB block in my
old Roadrunner, but the 225, in about
6 different cars (and a truck.)
steve
318, 340, 360 are all pretty reliable too.
Loved my 318.
340x in a a body could out run most big block cars
@@oscarwalton1188 power to weight ratio. Makes a big difference. :-)
the LA engines are some of the best v8s ever made
@@colescarstuff7102 Damn near bulletproof, those LA engines. The last patrol car my dad had before he retired from our local PD was a Dodge Diplomat with the LA 360. He always said that although they weren't quite as fast on top end as the 440 Plymouth Gran Fury cars they had immediately prior, those 318 & 360 Diplomats just WOULDN'T break, no matter what.
Seems Dodge slaps a v8 in just about everything
Dalton B And we must thank them for doing so
Dave's Garage oh yea, I love it
Dave's Garage Yea that's the best fuckin way to do it!
'murica
I honestly prefer the Cummins, but you can keep your pavement princesses.
What about the legendary "slant six"? I have heard those things are almost invincible. And it is like the perfect engine for turbocharging since it has exhaust and air intake on the same side of the head.
Matej Sommer yeah the slant 6 in stock form was a dog. but with EFI and a turbo they can produce some power.
Matej Sommer and he forgot About the legendary 318 LA v8 that are know to go 500,000 miles.
I would have put the slant six in this collection instead of the 2.2. If I recall correctly, it was designed as an industrial engine and adapted for automotive use, which is one of the reasons it was so reliable. Too tall to stand upright under a hood, it was slanted to allow clearance. You can get good power out of a 225 with proper tuning. Everyone that rode in mine swore up and down it had a V8.
I would've expected the 440 instead of the 413 too, and the 8.4L viper instead of the first gen viper. also, it should be noted to take advantage of the slant6 for a turbo you'd need an air-water intercooler which are surprisingly rare in the aftermarket
I would have to agree my dad had a 72 Duster and that six didn't know the meaning of quit it still ran fine when he scrapped it after the body was falling apart
where is the 318 magnum or the 5.9?
I understand that he is not from America and is a bit ignorant but making the claim that the v10 is "the most glorious engine Chrysler has ever made" is just straight up ridiculous when Chrysler has the whole Hemi engine group under its belt.
I'd say the V10 is the most glorious amongst the bunch of V8 you have around there in the US. I feel like that is a nice refreshment of something different and somehow cooler in its way.
VisioRacer you should make more videos like "best Chrysler v8s" "best Chevy v8s" "best ford v8s"
VisioRacer how about best sounding tank engines next? really enjoy your videos!
Or best plane engines
best sounding turbocharged racing engines?
You forgot the Magnum 5.2/5.9 and then 5.7 Hemi they put in their trucks since 03
Magiums were great engines but when the hemi came out they were over shadowd
Britton 757 5.2 sucks in comparison to the 5.9, with the 5.9 being underpowered
The magnum series ate actually good engines but the 5.7 develops lifter tick and other issues too easily in my opinion a good engine but I'd trust a magnum to last better and be easier to build
Forgot the 340 LA and Slant-Six :P And forget the nay-sayers, Chrysler has made some awesome engines and deserve some recognition. Great Video!
How can you leave out the mighty 340ci from this list? My 71 340 Duster will surprise a lot of cars with much bigger engines!
ignoring the LA engines while bringing up the damn neon and the 80s turbos... shame
SgtPnkks it's a shame he forgot the 318 340 and 360 LA engines.
Dodge 318 Cummins Definitely is my lil 340 blew the doors off of my buddies 74 454 Vette in an 1/8 mile and I'm banging gears the Vette was a TH400 auto! I know it's only an 1/8 mile and in the 1/4 he probably would have got me but still my lil Duster hauls ass.
Derek Joon Stock that little 340 would probably win vs the 454 those engines had no power in 74 vs your 71
Karl Hopkins it's seems like all Chevy 350s/454s are dogs the LA mopar engine have the grunt to move.
What about the 318 V8? They are bulletproof!
they are insane my brother had a 90 d 150 pickup with 318 him and his friend put twin turbo on it granted it blew the piston rings after ahwhile it drove to the junkyard on its own power
Had a 318 in my 71 Dart. Virtually used the same thing from 66 to 2003
Have it on my 98’ Grand Cherokee. Love it!!
Sonnywitdamoney can't forget the best they ever built bud 5.9 360
The 360 had terrible fuel economy and power, bud
318, 340, 360, 383, 440, v8's. The slant six's were indestructible, and idiot proof. and there v6 line up from the OHV 3.3liter v6 to the SOHC v6 like the 4.0 v6. also to throw an other one in the penstar engines are maken' a name for them selves.
Of those, I've only not had the 340.
(Cubic inch engines. Haven't had a
metric engine.)
Also, you left off (and I never had)
the 400 B, 413 RB 426 Wedge, and
the famous 426 Hemi!
360 was a smog version of the 340,
and it was a POS.
The Slant Six, is, without a doubt the
most reliable engine Chrysler made.
I was sad when Chrysler stopped making
them, and the B- RB engines.
steve
I can definitely attest that their 3.3l V6 from the caravans will run forever! Everything else falls apart but that thing starts every time haha
He mentioned rb and b series
@@dirkturrell6460 that's why you still see so many on the road all clapped out but still running like a champ!
VISIORACER- Your instincts about the V10 are spot on. Chrysler produced the world's first production variable-valve timing pushrod engine with independent intake and exhaust phasing.
The system is called CamInCam, and was first used in the 600 horsepower SRT-10 engine for the 2008 Dodge Viper. Now it's 645HP and 6600 RPM redline! Weight? 3368lbs.
Actually, the SOHC 3.5L EG based engines used from 1993 all the way to 2010 were wonderful, reliable engines. At the end of it's life it, it produced ~260HP and didn't really change much over its lifetime.
Where is the 4.0 i6?
That's a leftover AMC engine. They even kept the AMC bell housing bolt pattern.
mr.madness
In the junk yard where it belongs.
wtf are you talking about? those engines are bulletproof. I have one
borderex they are not bulletproof as most dont make it to 200k but they are reliable till they get there i guess. Mine fucking chewed every spark plug thrown at it except for cheap autolites for some reason.
yours must be the exception because its quite common knowledge that they are pretty damn reliable engines lol.
i think you forgot the 440
The 440 is one of the RB engines, so no, he didn't forget it.
MarchuxProductions he kinda did forget because the 440 was developed in the 60ss, and he only mentioned the 58-78. and he only mentioned the max wedge's the most.
Lmao, aren't the 1960s situated between 1958 and 1978? And the 440 is just one of the displacements the RB came in. Just the same as the 383 and both 413 and 426 Wedges.
It's the same as metioning, say, the BMW M52 engine without mentioning all the displacements it came in- the engine basically stays the same, only has a different bore and/or stroke.
What a GREAT vid, dude! Awesome to see someone paying homage to Chrysler's almighty V8's and V10 like this. One thing I would like to point out is the "Wedge" engines were called that because of the wedge shape of the COMBUSTION chamber... I know you DID mention this name and made reference to why they were called this, but it can be a bit confusing if people don't understand WHY this name was used. Keep up the great work. I'm a qualified mechanic of almost 20 years now and I still like to see your vids from time to time when you have good subject matter. Well done
I have a V-10 magnum they are very torquey and awesome in 4 wheel drive!
Why the hell Chrysler invented Pt cruiser at all?
Aurimas Knieža old people lol
gotta fill the junkyard with something....
Its an oddball car, a combination of classic hotrod with new age Minivan. I respect the idea, and prefer the look of the PT Cruiser concept than the production one.
A retro-styled compact that appeals to everyone, why not?
For me , personally, it looks like 'modernised' station wagon from ~1960s
LA318 small block is Chrysler's Holy Grail.
Best v8 engine ever made by anyone
this chrysler engine are really famous especially the v 10 of the viper because is one of the most powerful engine made for a viper and it s really loud too but as always good video ;-)
Antonio Catalano Mary Chrysler
Aquatic Gaming1 LOL
Lol someone doesn't know about cars 😂😂😂
Nice English Improvement
The Real Bleach yeah I find his accent somewhat difficult at times, but I feel like it's getting better.
whoa whoa whoa... what about the 218 flathead 6? or the leaning tower of power (slant 6). and lets not forget the greatest hot rod motor ever... the real 57-58 392 hemi! and to give credit where its due, the 318 is fantastic
Peter Sunzeri A great big AMEN for remembering the good old 318! People still don't give that engine the credit it deserves. It's not unheard of to build one of those and easily get 400 hp or more out of it...
Yeah I have a datecoded 1972 318 out of a dart sitting on a stand in my garage, things a beast, probably makes around 380hp but sounds great with the long tubes i have on it
Peter Sunzeri I have a 1983 dodge van with a 318 V8 it has 342,000 miles and never been opened up, all original and runs great!
Sonnywitdamoney Holy shit thats a lot of miles!
Sonnywitdamoney my 5.2L in my Dakota is about in that mileage, also no rebuilds. I just recently bought a 72 Demon slant 6, used the Dakota to tow it home 450 miles over the mountains (the slant Demon runs just fine, it just didn't have tags). Two of the best engines ever built.
I just subscribed to your chanell, You have many interesting video's. Keep them up!
I've got a 3.9 v6 in a 2000 dodge dakota with over 220,000 miles and it runs just like the day I bought it
Why did you put a Cummins on the thumbnail. I was about to shoot myself in the head if you said "Chrysler makes the Cummins turbo diesel"
back in the day, you could have optioned those 3500 dualies with the Mag V10 instead of the Cummins
LooseDeuce and for one year on the third gen ram in 2003
Nice engine
Too bad about the rest of the truck. 🗑🗑🗑
5:19 how can anyone hate on Dodge after that
I would've included the Slant Six. They're not very fast in stock form (except for the Hyper-Pak 170) but they are among the most (if not the most) reliable Chrysler engines to date, and with a few simple mods (carburetor, exhaust, cam) they can achieve decent power numbers, and can give a V8 a good run for it's money.
great content man, keep it up!
V10's are cool until you own on honestly
Edward true, they make great tank and combine engines =P
Not true at all, currently own a 1995 2500 8.0 v10, and can honestly say, ive never gotten bored of it.
488 cubic inches I have one as well I love it . its a 5spd and its fun
Magnum V10s sound like cummins engines
Hockey Masked Person you should here my srt10 ram with heads and exaust lol...sounds like a 30s British tank trying hitting the rev limiter
You gonna do a Jaguar engine video. Pretty much every early Jag engine is legendary. XK6 and the mighty V12 being the most famous.
Kuddlesworth NA the same V12 in the XJS?
I had a 1970 Duster with a slant six. It always started in the coldest of winters, got over 30 miles to the gallon and it was one car I could work on. You could go to an auto wreckers and pick up parts like alternators and starters and install them yourself for dirt cheap. There was lots of room to work on the engine if needed. I put over 600,000 miles on it and gave the car to a friend and he drove it for years. As long as you could keep the body of the car in shape, who knows how long one of these motors would last. I had a 1978 Dodge Aspen with the slant six. This engine was called the super six. this slant six was slighter bigger at 225 ci and it has a 2 barrel carb which gave the engine a bit more power and smoothness. I had that car for years as well. The 340 , 383 , 318 and 440 engines were not mentioned. The 383 was a great engine as well as the others. My dad had a 1965 Chrysler Windsor with the 383. You could stand beside the car and the engine was so smooth you could hardly hear it run. The Windsor was replaced by the Newport.
Previously owned V-10 trucks, a '98 and a '01. With the 3.55 gears you could get 18 MPG on the highway with the 5 spd. But hook up a 30' trailer or drive around the city, lucky to get 9 MPG. Our work trucks couldn't be over 3 years old, Hated trading in the '98 at 160,000 KM. No mention of the 340, love mine. They would wind up fast, along with the 273. The 383 was also a screamer.
Chrysler Australia made a 265 ci inline six Hemi engine(in an E-49 Charger) that could outrun a 1971 Ford GTHO Phase 3 over the 1/4 mile....265s were the best inline six's Chrysler ever made
Had my best drive ever in a Charger 265. Will never be repeated, too old too many police, great engine, a heart of gold.
So Chrysler was first about cylinder deactivation instead of VW, I like it.
Can Elmen The 5.7 L Hemi V8 was the first engine which featured it which was powering the Chrysler 300C Hemi or Dodge Charger or Magnum
Zoltan Benedek It was first produced in the ram back in 03
There were a few other atuomakers who experimented with it long before them. However, Chrysler and AMC were the first automakers to experiment with electronic fuel injection in 1958. They both scrapped it because at the time the technology wasn't ready, the components were crap and especially susceptible to the elements.
Look up Cadillac V8-6-4. As far as I know, GM was the first to use cylinder deactivation back in 1981, (although they would probably rather forget it). Not many people remember it because it, like the Diesel Cadillac V8, was an unmitigated disaster.Two fiascos, along with the Cimarron, just about destroyed the brand.
But it's proven to be a good idea in principle, though, so maybe it just wasn't technologically feasible back then.
Not even close.
Great video, and nice job being made by someone not from North America; there is so much mis-information out there about American cars especially Chrysler stuff. Shout out to including the 2.2/2.5 turbo engines as well, they have been largely forgotten but were a very strong and capable engine that could handle a lot of abuse (BOOST lol)
them 413 tall head engines are insane. rare as hell to find.
can the magnum 318 bottom end with stand 400 horsepower
Yes
Sucks that the "new hemi" is so unreliable compared to the old schools. Head gaskets and valve seats dropping off into the cylinder. The srt4 was the only neon even worth a damn, the ram v10 was a torque monster but unreliable long term if the rockers don't break under the valve cover.
Everyone forgot about the jeep i6 4.0, which didn't make any crazy hp, about 195 at its peak, but when dropped in the xj cherokee, it was the most powerful compact suv on the market (it was also one of the first compact suvs when amc first introduced it) and they could last FOREVER. Mine has 300k miles on it, and still meets factory compression specs. I have seen them with over half a million miles without ever being opened up for repair. Not to mention, exhaust and intake were on the same side, making it perfect for turbo applications and you can use an amc 4.2l crank to make a 4.5-4.7l stroker motor out of the 4.0, with 505 performance making a 5.0l version and newcomer racing making over 900 horsepower out of his turbo stroker.
Thanks for the excellent voiceover as I don't like having to read the subtitles whilst viewing the cars. By the way your YT-source material is well researched - it would take hours to look out all those vids oneself.
440s 340 six pack 383s?
musefan117 he mentioned the 440 and 383, the only one he didn't was the 340 and such smallblocks.
The 2.2 engine was garbage. They were notorious for the wiring catching on fire
markjolyn94 how bout notorious for cracking heads.
They blew head gaskets under duress. If you run anything without water it will crack heads. Change the head gasket at first sign of failure, make sure deck is still flat, and get all air out of coolant system.
They didn't catch fire, that's bullshit. If they did it would have destroyed chrysler.
Randy Magnum I just sold an 87 shadow will the 2.2 turbo and a 5 speed. I miss that car almost ever day and would have kept it if I didn't need 4wd for college. Didn't have a single problem with the engine
MOPAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this Mopar greatness filled video, but you should have included the Slant 6, the 340, the 440, the 383, the 318, the 360, the Firepower,.....pretty much every Chrysler engine!! To make it easier for you, you should make a video including Chrysler engines which are not great XD. Seriously, great video
Don't forget the Iconic Chrysler Big Block B/RB engines too!
*The 5.9L 361*
*The 6.3L 383*
*The 7.2L 413* *Strictly used for police fleet vehicles*
im sorry but those turbo inline 4s sound like a sneeze.
FPS Voltage I'm pretty sure they had a lot of problems too! The NA version could go along time if taken care of though
And a lumpy cross plane V8 sounds like diarrhea.
Your point?
Mopar NEVER made a "bad" engine ,all powerful and tough as they come !!!
2.7 V6, 3.7 V6 both junk. Also having the 2.0 version of the N/A Neon motor listed is a crime, tons of head gasket issues.
Sure they did. If you see a vehicle blowing blue odds are 10:1 it’s a Chrysler product.
One of the most under appreciated Mopar engines is the OG SRT8 motor, the 6.1l Hemi. It's sole purpose was as a power plant for first gen SRT8 lx platform cars. 425hp/420tq
hearing dat "vrrrm vrrrrm" of the 392, also the scoop moving with the engine. hell yeah.
i have 87 dodge Dayton with 2.2 turbo
Too bad they are usually attached to the worst, most unreliable transmissions.
only the FWD shit... they are far better at matching up transmissions for RWD (except when they used the 44RE behind a V8... it was only just barely enough transmission)
in fact the A727 is one of the best auto transmissions ever made
KW eightthree It's a 50/50 chance just like any vehicle. My dad swore his whole life he would never own a dodge, now he has 3 he's on his 5th dodge. He is a ford guy but doesn't trust ford anymore, the only manufacturer to give him any issues was gm. And those gm vehicles most blew the transmission not ford dodge nissan etc.
KW eightthree Most unreliable transmissions the 9spd and 8spd suck i can tell you that my ford and many gm vehicles with junky transmissions.
KW eightthree dodge used to be know to have the best state of the art transmission. some 80s van ruined their reputaion. modern transmissions are known to be extremly reliable and able to handle massive power. especially the new zf 8 speed
So true, 360 is bullet proof engine, the 46RE and 47RE are awful transmissions.
One of the largest volume viper dealers back in the 90s thru early 00s was in my town. It was always fun to see some random guy doing donuts on the bypass after getting his car modded there. They modded GT2 #001 of 100 made the first year of the gt2s.
Where's the 340 LA and the Ol' Reliable Slant Six? That may not have been a glamorous motor but it provided reliable, economical transportation to millions of car owners for more than two decades.
you for got the 5.2 and 5.9 magnums the best small blocks ever made......
Well he did mention the 5.9L magnum that had two more cylinders slapped on it to become a 8.0L V10.
The 8.0l V10 is not a 5.9 with two more cylinders. I just did the math, if you were to slap two more cylinders on the 5.9, it would be a 7.375 liter V10.
It has a longer piston stroke. 3.88 inches vs 3.58 inches. Bore is the same at 4.00 inches. That longer stroke is where you make up the 0.6L of displacment.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the information.
Yes. 318, 360, and slant six in my opinion are by far the most bullet proof from chrysler
Dodge Omni GLH is such a good car, i recently got one, and it'll be my second project car, the first one being a Mercedes 300D.
What about the GLHS by Shelby ?
Where are the 318- 360 Magnum V8s, 4.0L I6, new 3.6Penastar V6, 4.7Powertech V8, old 3.9 Magnum V6? You listed some good ones, but you missed quite a few and that's just what I can think of off the too of my head.
Errick Kitchin He could have added the Pentastar and LA engines, as well as thr Slant-6, but I didn't think the 4.7l.was supposedly that great and the 4.0l isn't a Chrysler engine, they inherited it from AMC when they bought the company out for Jeep.
GreenJeep1998 I just knew a lot of people from my personal experience that loved the 4.7 in the Grand Cherokee and I forget that the 4.0 was a AMC engine a lot.
The 3.9 V6; my ‘93 has way over 200,000 miles. Runs great. Odometer broke at 120,640 miles 15 years ago..,
I thought Dodge trucks used Cummins engines?
If they are diesel.
byalexandr Dodge, Jeep, and Ram are owned by Chrysler.
I know that, but Cummings is a private company that's not part of Chrysler.
Only the HD diesel trucks.
Cummings are diesel engines
Cummins
Not a Chrysler engine, Ford puts the 6.7 Cummins in their F650.
Thanks but They are made by ram
jake ropes Cummins is a separate company from RAM.
Thanks eric
Please also do such a video with BMW engines. They had amazing ones like the M50/M52, S54, S65 and S85. Keep up the good work :)
From Airplane Hemi motors to, early Hemi Dodge Desoto etc, Poly Semi Hemi, Mac Wedge, R RB motors and LA Small block, and Never Forget the Slant6..
The engines used in top fuel drag races (~11,000-18,000 HP) are modified 1964 chrysler engines.
11000 - 18000 !? Are you crazy? They make about 10000 hp max, maybe with some peaks of 11000 for a few miliseconds.
Avacado Papaya XD 18000 hp my ass
No they aren't. About the only thing top fuel dragster engines have in common with 60's era hemis is cylinder count. They are manufactured by companies that specialize in high-performance engines and the blocks are replaced after a handful of runs. They do have hemispherical heads to optimize intake volumes but not all hemispherical heads come from Chrysler. For example the gm 4.3l vortec v6 came from the factory with hemispherical heads.
That's about as true as saying Toyota's NASCAR cars are actually Camrys.
Avacado Papaya more like maybe 11,000
my dream car is hellcat
Jay challenger or charger?
245 and 265 hemi two of the best sixes ever built.
G'day mate.
your pronunciation of plymouth made me have a bit of a giggle. love the vids man!
Do greatest Chevy, or General Motor engines next!
If he does that list, the Oldsmobile Quad 4 should be on there, was a good DOHC 4 cylinder from Americans. and also the Atlas LL8, #1 on the Wards 10 best engines list for 3 years in a row back in 2003-2005 (i think it was at least, may have been a year back)
Jaden Sanderson and a best ford engines should be there too
Mitch Hulleman i suppose so
Justin Noker 3.8L V6 too
That would be really cool, but to do best Gm engines would just make a huge video, IMO. With all the divisions having their own engines, it would be tough.
There are plenty of amazing Chrysler engines. the 6.1 hemi 6.4, 6.2, 5.7, 4.7, 5.2, 5.9 360, 5.9 12v 24v cummins even though they're not dodge engines. 426 hemi, 440 6 pack, 440 wedge, 426 wedge, 383 225 slant 6 all amazing engines i could go on as well. All are reliable if taken care of like any engine.
Karl Hopkins I agree with all of them except the 4.7 shit box.
What about them 44RE, 46RE, and 47RE transmissions though
Dodge 318 Cummins I guess you had problems with one but a lot of people have no problems.
you forgetting the best of all.... 340!
what about the 245 and 265 hemi sixes here in aus?
Being outside of the US, never quite got the appeal of Chrysler though they certainly could have done more with the Slant-6 engine based on what was investigated in the experimental department (e.g. all-alloy, OHC, turbo, diesel / turbodiesel, Slant-4, etc) plus an all-alloy V8. There was also the Simca Type 180 engine that allegedly drew much from the BMW M10 engine, which along with the related M30 (and smaller M20 plus M21 diesel) also spawned stillborn M10-based V8 and M30-based V12 engine projects (prior to the M20-derived M70 V12). One can only imagine such engines coming about in better circumstances.
Appreciate giving Chrysler some love, but you missed a few:
-318 V8 and Slant 6: Long-standing workhorse engines, and two of the most reliable engines around (my 318 is going on 350k miles without a rebuild).
-340 V8: Coming from the same LA series as the 318, the 340 had a fair measure of reliability, but more importantly was a high-winding powerhouse that could virtually keep up with most of the big block engines of its time. Discontinued in either '73 or '74, they're hard to come by now and sought after by rebuilders/collectors, so they go for a pretty penny if found.
-440 V8: Chrysler's biggest old-school powerhouse short of the 426, having less horsepower but more torque than the Hemi. It was used in the Charger Daytona that rocked Nascar, and even set a 200mph Nascar speed record. (Fun fact: it was also used in the escape charger in the Bullitt chase scene, and the chase Mustang 390 had such a hard time keeping up that the charger's driver had a hard time pacing down for the Mustang while making it look like a realistic chase).
so an 8 litre v10 that "only" puts out 400 hp with that displacement is a great engine? ok..
it's N/A and pushrod, what did you expect? and i would bet that those V10's would last a lot longer than a 1.8L 4 cyl tuned to that
Hp per liter doesn't mean anything. It depends what car the engine goes into, or what you want the engine to do.
guifrakss yes it does, 610 lbft of torque out of that massive engine? Just poor engineering
guifrakss HP/L does mean something - how efficently an engine is using it's displacment to make power, it just dosn't matter at the end of the day. An "inefficent" 500HP LS7 will still eat an "efficent" 220HP K20 alive in the same car. Personally, I think the best mesure of how efficent an engine truly is is how much power it produces compared to how much fuel it uses compared to how much material (external size and weight) the engine is made out of.
***** I kinda have to agree with him, in the US market, people give zero fucks about power to weight, you could make a 30 liter V16 with 150 horsepower and sell it off as a family car assuming you can get it up to MPG specs, here, it's more of displacement and power that sells, for example, here's two cars. One of a VW Jetta with a 1.8L tuned to 400 horsepower, now you have a Dodge Viper with a 8L V10 making 400 HP, of course the 8L sounds more appealing. They made it 8L not so much for the power, they easily made their power goal, the displacement was pure marketing more or less
4.0L straight six in the jeeps was a real bruiser in a 4x4
Basically every straight six anyone ever made is a bomb proof engine.
I know that they're technically AMC engines but the Jeep 4.0L inline six was one of the best engines to ever be put in a Jeep. Amazing low-end torque and very reliable if you take care of it
Was hoping to see the 318 make the list, just for being a reliable workhorse.
I have a 5.7l Hemi awd chrysler sedan, im thinking of supercharging it with the magnuson 6psi kit. Will the engine in it's original state handle an increase of about 120-150hp?
That redone Plymoyth blue 413 twin 4bbl carb is awesome! Sound of loping cam great - reminds me of old WW2, P51 Mustang Prop fighter planes at idle. Great!
mate you missed the LA 283-318-340-360 small block V8 series, the early 392ci hemi family, even the powertech 4.7l HO engine is a great little engine as long as they have been taken well care of .
I own two of the engines on this list. My 2001 Ram has a Magnum V10 that I use to tow an enclosed trailer that contains my 72 Duster with a 440 (RB). The V10 is a torque monster and has given me 0 issues, the transmission is a different story.
The 392 hemi was originally in 57 and 58 Chrysler products
Another really good engine is the 5.2L V8. It's not the most powerful, 230 HP, 300 Ft-Lb (407 N.m), but it is really reliable and durable. The one in my Jeep Grand Cherokee is the original engine with 360,500 miles, 580,000 Km. The only internal parts that I've replaced are the the lifters, oil pump, and timing set, and it still runs well. Since it's basically just a multi port fuel injected version of the old 318 V8 with a roller lifter cam, another very durable engine, it's a very well engineered and well-built engine.
And, although it's actually an AMC design, the 4.0 L fuel injected in-line 6 built by Chrysler is also known for incredible durability.
Hey great video but what about the Chrysler's A and LA and Magnum V6 and V8s and where is the slant six and the early twin rocker shaft or HEMI V8s from Chrysler Desoto Dodge from 1951 to 1958 thanks for the video
I've always loved that shaker hood. You should watch the movie "The Wraith." It stars Charlie Sheen (back when he was in his early 20's). Then read up on the car in that movie, paying close attention to the engine Chrysler put in that car. Interesting stuff for a gearhead.
The Dodge 5.9 litre Magnum V8 is also a bullet proof gas engine. I have over 338,000 hard working miles on my 96 Dodge Ram and its still running strong.
Interesting tidbit on the original hemi's: Oddly enough the hemi was developed during the Korean war when Dodge/Chrysler expected to have high gas prices following the war with only lower octane fuels being available, and thus wanted an engine that could run with lower compression ratios, thus they developed the hemispherical design. It was terrible design from a combustion standpoint since it has no quench space and a huge combustion chamber, but the alternate locations of the I/E valves made them nice from a flow standpoint. The fuel problem never did materialize and other manufacturers moved to smaller fully machined wedge-shaped chambers for higher CRs for leaded fuel. But the Hemi remained.
mysock351C actually the hemi did go away for a second and the MAX Wedge cars ruled the land.
The Hemi came from Desoto Firedome.
no mention of the 5.2 ( 318 ) v8 either. while not seen as a powerhouse engine, still it was used for sum 40 yrs, with a few upgrades as technology improved- and a very rock solid and reliable engine. ( course a few select parts can make it a powerhouse )
I think you should have included one or two of their v6's. My car has the 3.5l SOHC v6, and it's pretty good. Not to mention, it sounds pretty cool too.
Hey i love your videos but just noticed you read the subtitles you provide word for word. Although its not a bad thing, but a slight variation would be very welcome in my opinion!
Keep up the amazing vids :D
Thank you, buddy. The reason for the "word for word" system is that some people complained about the voiceover and liked to watch the video muted and read only, thus the subtitles :)
Ahh that makes sense, Ive seen some people hate on your voiceover..... But your doing awesome so far, In my opinion your voiceovers make it better!!
Thanks for the awesome content you create :)
I thank you!
Honestly very surprised with how accurate this is, props to you, but where is the 340?!? Big block killer from way back
I've got an LA/Magnum "hybrid". It's and LA block with Magnum heads. Been very reliable and makes tons of torque!
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Love how that blacked-out turbo Neon is from a channel called "superchargedregal." Guess someone has an affinity for ridiculously powerful FWD sedans...
YOU MAKE GREATVIDEOS! KOOL VOICE!
Love the 413 Max wedge with those weird cross ram intakes.... also even as a Chevy guy. There's nothing that sounds meaner on the road than a 392 mopar. They sound great!!
I am glad you noticed the neon Srt4 A853 engine.
I have always loved and admired Chrysler for their heavy commitment to no BS power and RWD platform; keeping fun vehicle dynamics (unlike so many mfgrs for a while that were killing off all rear drive platforms due to less cabin room and general what I call “puss-ball money politics” that would have most if not all cars plowing all day long with xverse layouts on cars that just need to be RWD to not be ridiculous (Impala, Monte Carlo, Taurus, every full-size car with more than a 4-cylinder in it).
I'm stunned that you left out the REAL Hemi. The magnificent 1957 & '58 Chrysler & Imperial 392. Today, a junkyard fugitive engine can still command thousands of dollars, which would suggest the high regard in which they are held, sixty three years after this version was made. Three divisions of Chrysler Corp collectively produced twelve different Hemi engines in three family groups displacing as little as 241 cid up to 392 cubes. Some better than others but not a single dud between the lot of them.
The 3.6 Pentastar for being a basic everyday driver is very capable. 300HP in family cars with that nice exhaust note is welcome.
What's so good about LS engines, is you can make a reliable 1000+hp by adding a turbo, most engines would make a unscheduled disassembly around 700hp,
The the first clip of the viper v10 had that belt squeek that I hear in caravans
Ooh make one about the best sounding industrial engines!
Yes, if you are into speed. But the 318 v8 with 727 trans was a combination that was almost invincible. Had an '85 p/u I drove for 17 yrs. When I realized that the only original parts left were the engine, trans, and the strip where the wipers went.I retired the truck. 3 frames,2 cabs ,2 boxes, seats, well you get the picture. Oh yeah, and it plowed snow every year of it's life....
I wasn't ready for 5:28 lol. All hell broke loose when he opened that beast up.
