	Chrysler's Flathead Engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Chrysler was so proud of its new engine that the front of the hood of the V8 equipped cars had a large chrome 'V' to identify the engine to all the world.
		The valve-in-block engine displaced 189.8 cubic inches from a bore of 3 1/4" and a stroke of 4 1/8".
		The engine used a redesigned water pump for better cooling efficiency, aluminum alloy pistons and had a new first as it was fitted with insert bearings on the main and connecting rod bearings, as well as the first camshaft bearing.

	Mopar hemi engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Chrysler worked with the Carter Company to develop a water jacketed carburetor with an integral automatic choke to insure that the new engine would not stall nor develop ice within the carb.
		Chrysler designed the pistons to be able to "slip" between the crankshaft counterweights at the bottom of the stroke, thereby achieving a much smoother running engine, with less friction and slower wear characteristics.
		To its credit, Chrysler engineering was engaged in a crash "reverse" engineering project to improve quality so as to end the death threats that had been received.

	Engine Tips:'61-'71 Dodge Truck Website
		The Polyspherical Engine Association is dedicated to the preservation and ownership of Early A-series V8 engines such as the 277, 301 and 318.
		In 1968 the 340 engine was born to the musclecar era of Mopar vehicles while in 1971 the 360 followed.
		Engineers at Chrysler deemed that the 383 did not need enhancements such as these because it already had the torque and horsepower to handle the loads it would have to carry in the light-duty truck application.

	Jack Stoughton gives you the inside scoop pn the most famous of all engines. Chryslers 426 Hemi!!
		The first hemispherical shaped (or half sphere) combustion chamber engine was developed primarily as an Industrial or Marine engine, but the engineers saw hope for a passenger car engine as well.
		Chrysler also built another head type in the 50’s called the “Poly Head” (similar to a small block Chevy in design), using some of the Hemi design features, but with a single rocker assembly per bank.
		The engine’s advertised horsepower and torque ratings were 425 hp at 5,000 rpm and 490 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm.

	Howstuffworks "How HEMI Engines Work"
		An engine like this is said to have "hemispherical heads." In a HEMI head, the spark plug is normally located at the top of the combustion chamber, and the valves open on opposite sides of the combustion chamber.
		In a flathead engine, the valves are in the block, rather than in the head, and they open in a chamber beside the piston.
		The head in a flathead engine is extremely simple -- it is a solid metal casting with a hole drilled in it to accept the spark plug.

	2005 Chrysler 300C Road Test
		During the mid,50s, Chrysler along with the other American manufacturers, were looking to replace their aging flathead engines with the new technology overhead valve engines.
		Unlike Chrysler vehicles of the past, road noise on the 300 is very well controlled and on a par with some of the quieter cars on the road.
		Chrysler has a winner on its hands with the new 300, and that also goes for the station wagon version of this car, the Dodge Magnum.

	Chrysler in Brazil
		Chrysler produced a number of vehicles in Brazil over the years, all badged with the Dodge name, ending production with the sale of its facilities to Volkswagen when pressed for cash in 1980.
		When Chrysler bought Simca in 1958, its first act in Brazil was to double the warranty of the small French-designed cars being produced there (with optional V8s for performance).
		This engine was developed in the US as an "economy" alternative to the larger Ford flathead V8; Henry Ford hated six-cylinder engines and originally insisted on a smaller V8 as an alternative after the last B/C 4-cylinder US Fords went out of production in the Thirties.

	Chrysler Slant Six - Project Build - Mopar Muscle Magazine
		At the dawn of the musclecar era, Chrysler engineers were pulling their hair out, replacing hefty iron parts with the svelte aluminum alternatives we've all come to know and love.
		The result was a one-inch deck height increase and a two-engine family of 170 and 225 inline six-cylinder engines with a common bore of 3.40 and strokes of 3.125 and 4.125, respectively.
		Although the engineering department did produce some aluminum heads for testing and evaluation (a few of which are still floating around among hardcore Slant Six collectors), economics prevailed, and the aluminum head was never approved for mass production.

	427 SOHC -- The Ford V-8 Engine Workshop
		The engines featured a transistorized ignition system, triggered by a dual low-mass tungsten contacts in the distributor.
		Oil pumped through a passage in the cylinder head deck (common to all FE family engines) is used to lubricate the camshaft bearings, rocker shafts, and follower tips.
		Though Ford sold the required number of units to homologate the design, the Cammer was prevented from running against the Chrysler hemi at Daytona in 1965 due to NASCAR rule changes.

		Another historic engine with enduring appeal is, of course, the side-valve V8 that Henry Ford launched in mid-1932.
		Tatom Custom Engines in Mount Vernon, Washington supplies a wide range of new parts for Ford Flatheads; Tatom's latest is a line of stainless valves in 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7-inch head diameters.
		They build cars with Flathead engines, or with 'nostalgia' overhead-valve V8s''-which were, in a strange way, the crate motors of their day.

	Chrysler
		These engines were also used in the Dynasty, New Yorker, Fifth Avenue and Imperial models until those vehicles were later replaced by the LH platform series, which was eventually powered by the aforementioned all-aluminum 2.7/3.2L V6s.
		Still, the team and engine people within the team realized the LH would not be a success unless the new engine was there at the same time we launched the car.
		The name-withheld engineer wrote: "if a mechanic reinstalls the rocker shaft on an engine that still has the lifters 'pumped up,' he must allow for them to be bled down or he risks breaking the shaft.

		But there's another big reason that many of these engines don't need to be given the heave-ho--there's nothing wrong with them in the first place.
		With the addition of a Chrysler to Chevy adapter, it was used to put a Top Loader behind a Hemi.
		When adapting manual transmissions, the pressure plate that fits the engine is used with a disc that fits the transmission.

	Red's Engine Talk
		The rod bearings that came in our flathead V8 engines were full floating from 1932-48, and more conventional inserts from 1949-53.
		Other engines have used this design feature, but none are as popular or populous as our V8's.
		Some of the early fuel burning dragster Chrysler Hemis were converted to full floating rod bearings to lower friction and enhance reliability.

	Engine Out
		Endion's engine is the original Chrysler Marine Crown Special M47S.
		It's a Six-cylinder Flathead gas engine (Chrysler used the term "L-Head" for this design); Fresh-water cooled; Two Carburetors (updraft); 12 Volt (originally equipped with both an Alternator and Generator - really!); 135 HP; 1:1 transmission.
		Anyway, the engine was once stored full of water (in Northern Ontario), and the water pump was replaced, but no one took apart the water jacket/exhaust manifold - it ruptured, and water found its way into the exhaust valves (and into the cylinders).

	Installing A Contemporary Transmission To A Vintage Car - Tech Articles - Street Rodder Magazine
		The thing to remember about these adapters is that they use the engine's flywheel with the rest of the assembly (pressure plate and cover, friction disk, throwout bearing, and linkage) coming from the transmission OEM.
		Once the case is aligned to the engine's crank, mark which way the offsets were and install your working trans with the offset dowels.
		They really are "alignment pins." They are there to align the engine to the transmission as there is too much clearance between the bolts and the holes in the transmission case for proper alignment.

	Drag Racing Online - Specials: Twin Engine pg.1 October 2001
		The excitement was doubled with the addition of an extra engine on jet dragster jockey Steve Cotuguno's ride.
		Pulling off all the body panels on a roadster to produce a dragster, mounting a 4-71 blower, putting on eight two-barrel carburetors, and stroking the Mercury Flathead with nitro- methane as well as the Chryslers were just some of the methods used to gain an edge.
		When Pete Robinson drove his then ultra lightweight "Tinker Toy", single-engine, blown small-block Chevy gas dragster, to the 1961 NHRA Nationals Top Eliminator title, a lot of racers converted to the fact that the twins were too heavy and that less weight equaled more horsepower.
