The first iteration of the W-series engine was the 1958 "Turbo-Thrust" 348-cubic-inch (5.7 L), originally intended for use in Chevrolet trucks but also introduced in the larger, heavier 1958 passenger car line. Bore and stroke was 4 + 1 ⁄ 8 in × 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (104.8 mm × 82.6 mm), resulting in a substantially oversquare design. This engine ...
Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed ) an engine might be capable of producing ...
Although it had had a larger displacement than its 261-cubic-inch (4.3 L) Stovebolt predecessor it was approximately 2 inches (51 mm) shorter and 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm) lower. [54] Flywheel bolt pattern is the same as the six and V8, with 1 ⁄ 2 inch (12.7 mm) bolts for the flywheel if produced after the 1966 model year.
The 71 refers to the displacement in cubic inches of each cylinder. [1] The firing order of the engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4. [1] The engine's compression ratio is 18.7:1 with a 4.250 inch bore and a 5.00 inch stroke. [1] The engine weighs 2,185 lb (991 kg) and is 54 inches long, 29 inches wide and 41 inches tall. [1]
The Chrysler Slant-Six is the popular name for an overhead valve inline-6 engine produced by Chrysler Motors between 1959 and 2000. Featuring a reverse-flow cylinder head and cylinder bank inclined at a 30-degree angle from vertical, it was introduced in 170 cu in (2.8 L) and 225 cu in (3.7 L) displacements for the 1960 model year.
The 477-cubic-inch (7.8 L) 477 was released late in the 1940 model year, replacing the 451. It was the largest in the GMC straight-6 line until it was replaced by the 503 in 1950. It shares the same 5 inches (130 mm) stroke as the 426 and 451, with a 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (110 mm) bore. It produced a maximum 154 hp @ 2600 rpm and 385 lb•ft ...
The largest engine derived from the series was a 702-cubic-inch (11.5 L) "Twin Six" V12, which had a unique block and crankshaft, but shared many exterior parts with the 351. Diesel versions of the 351, 478 and 637, advertised as the ToroFlow , were also manufactured.
The 224-cubic-inch (3.67 L) engine, the larger engine in this family, was introduced in 1917 for the 1918 model year and used only in the Series FA and FB. It had the same bore as the 171, but a longer stroke of 5 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (133 mm), giving it 37 horsepower (28 kW) at 2,000 rpm. Applications: 1918 Chevrolet Series FA (37 hp; 28 kW) [7]
