Although the race cars ran a destroked 303 cu in (5.0 L) version of the modified 340, street versions took the 340 and added a trio of two-barrel carburetors atop an aluminum intake manifold, creating the 340 Six Pack. Dodge rated the engine at 290 hp (216 kW), only 15 hp (11 kW) more than the original 340 engine (which also had the same rating ...
The 400 cu in (6.6 L) B engine was introduced in 1972 to replace the venerable 383, and were power-rated via the net (installed) method. Chrysler increased the bore size of the 383 to create the 400. Its bore of 4.342-inch (110.3 mm) was the largest used in any production Chrysler V8 at the date of its introduction.
In 1970, Chrysler introduced a special triple carburetor version of the 340 with triple 2-barrels at 290 hp (216 kW) gross. Exclusively called the catchy Six-Pack on the Trans-Am targeted Dodge Challenger TA models, the same configuration was used by Plymouth for its Trans-Am AAR 'Cuda, called just the "340-6" or "six barrel". This race ...
The Hemi-6 valves are angled apart (splayed) 18 degrees (included angle) along the crankshaft axis, and the intake valves are as large as 1.96 in (50 mm). The 6 intake and 6 exhaust valves open slightly towards each other and away from the cylinder wall, which results in less "shrouding" of the valves and greater airflow potential.
For 1970 and 1971, the Barracuda and Barracuda Gran Coupe had two slant I6 engines available — a new 198 cu in (3.2 L) version and the previous 225 — as well as four different V8s: the 318 CID, the 383 cu in (6.3 L), the 383 with a two-barrel carburetor and single exhaust, and the 383 with a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust 330 hp ...
A new engine option made the Charger's list for the first time, the 440 Six Pack. With three two-barrel carburetors and a rating of 390 hp (291 kW), it was one of the most exotic setups since the cross-ram Max Wedge engines of the early 1960s. The Six Pack was previously used on the mid-year 1969 Dodge Super Bee and Plymouth Road Runner.

A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines.
