The 277 "Hy-Fire" was the first A-block engine, produced for 1955 in the fall of 1954 and sharing almost nothing but the basic concepts with other engines built by Chrysler. Bore is 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (95.3 mm) and stroke is 3 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (79.4 mm; 3.13 in) for a piston displacement of 276.1 cu in (4,525 cc).
During World War II, the 251 cu in (4,107 cc) flathead six was used as the basis for the Chrysler A57 multibank tank engine. [5] The last automotive use of the Chrysler flathead inline-six was in 1968. It was replaced by the much more efficient OHV Slant-6 released in 1960, which appeared in most Dodge trucks starting in 1961. According to the ...
A narrower range of engines was offered: the base power plant was the 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-6, now with top-fed hydraulic tappets, and the 318 cu in (5.2 L) and 360 cu in (5.9 L) LA-series V8s. The slant-6 was replaced by the 3.9 L (237 cu in) V6 for 1988; in 1992, it and the V8s became Magnum engines.
LA engines have the same 4.46 in (113 mm) bore spacing as the A engines. LA engines were made at Chrysler's Mound Road Engine plant in Detroit, Michigan, as well as plants in Canada and Mexico. The "LA" stands for "Light A," as the 1956–1967 "A" engine it was closely based on and shares many parts with [1] was nearly 50 pounds heavier. [2]
In 1968, the 273 was replaced by the 318 cu in (5.2 L) LA engine as the smallest V8 available, and the new 340 cu in (5.6 L) LA four-barrel was released. The 383 Super Commando engine was upgraded with the intake manifold, camshaft, and cylinder heads from the Road Runner and Super Bee , but the more restrictive exhaust manifolds specific to ...
