The last automotive use of the Chrysler flathead straight-six was in 1968 (in the Dodge Power Wagon WM300, its last year of production, which used the 251 cu in variant [6]).

Suspension parts were borrowed from the police packages. In 1978 and 1979, the 360 was offered with a four-barrel carb and, for 1979, dual exhaust, bringing power up to 195 hp (145 kW). The standard engine for the 1979 model year was the 225 CID "Slant 6" six-cylinder. For 1980, the 360 was no longer offered, and the 318 was the top engine.

[1] These engines were based on the Hemi engines, using the same blocks and crankshaft parts, but completely different cylinder heads, pushrods, exhaust manifolds and pistons.
