This book chronicles over 75 years of engine design, development, and production at Chrysler Corporation. Every production engine built by Chrysler is covered in detail, with descriptions, pictures, specifications, and timelines provided for each. In addition to the specifications, the book also looks at the personalities behind the engines' development, and the vehicles in which the engines were used.

Everything from in-depth build-ups to the latest in fuel injection adaptations! Ceridono masterfully details street, race, marine, blown and naturally aspirated engines for Chrysler, Dodge, and DeSoto. Contains complete identification and specifications for all models, plus Polyspheres, the new 426 crate motors, and conversions.

This information-packed guide contains material from the The Best of Hot Rod Magazine providing detailed information on high performance Chrysler engines. Coverage includes street Hemis, speed secrets, big-inch B and RB engines, and Hemi crate motors. Includes a look at a 400 wedge block Hemi conversion, plus a big-block and small-block ID guide.

In time of peace a new aircraft engine is as much as two and a half years from the drawing board to an experimental job on a test stand, another year or more to Army acceptance, still another year or more to production in quantities. New planes normally are flight-tested, modified, retested, modified again and again before a production order. But of desperate necessity, the Air Force was trying to cut this time by two thirds. It did so. The new plane and new engine, unapproved as of January, 1942, knocked Japan out of the war in 1945. When Japan's surrender terminated Chrysler's contract, 18,413 engines had been built and shipped from Chicago. - p. 2-3.

Excerpt: American Motors Corporation (AMC) produced a series of widely-used V8 engines from the mid-1950s before being absorbed into Chrysler in 1987. Chrysler kept the AMC V8 in production until 1991 for the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This engine family is now referred to as the "GEN-1" AMC V8, but in its time it was known as the Rambler V8. As part of a larger plan of merging Packard, Nash, Hudson, and Studebaker, AMC President George W. Mason had a verbal agreement with Packard that the two companies would supply parts for each other when practical. AMC started buying Packard V8s in 1954 for the big 1955 Nash Ambassador and Hudson Hornet. These were supplied with Packard "Ultramatic" automatic transmissions - exclusively. Packard sent AMC some parts bids, but were rejected as too expensive. George W. Romney, AMC's new head decided against further relationships with Packard. Romney ordered his engineering department to develop an in-house V8 as soon as possible. The engineering department hired David Potter, a former Kaiser Motors engineer, to come in and help develop the engine. Potter had previously worked on a V8...
