Eight cylinder

Inline 8

Inline 8 cylinder - Chrysler's early flathead inline 8-cylinder 5.3 L engine used on cars such as Airflows, DeSotos and Imperials. With side valves and aluminum pistons, this was a low-rpm engine that produced about 120 hp (89 kW).

V8

• FirePower - Chrysler's first V8 and first hemi engine, introduced in 1951. DeSoto and Dodge each received their own, unique smaller hemi line of engines in 1953. These engines, taken together, are now referred to as "1G" (1st generation) hemis, all have rear-mounted distributors.
• Spitfire - A polyspheric design introduced in 1955, derived from the FirePower.

Small block V8

Chrysler's small-block V8 engines all derive from the classic A engine:

• A small-block - Chrysler's first small-block V8.
• 1964½-1992 LA small-block - An evolution of the 1955 Plymouth A engine, using wedge-shaped instead of the prior polyspherical combustion chambers.
• 1992-2003 Magnum small-blockThe original LA design was almost totally revised for 1992 (318) and 1993 (360), with the only carry-over parts being the crankshaft and connecting rods. The only A/LA/Magnum-derived engine design currently in production is the Viper V10. (273/318/340/360)
• PowerTech - Chrysler's 4.7 L V8 for Jeep
• Chrysler 3G Hemi engine - The modern Hemi, introduced in 2002, produced in three displacements. Called the 3G or Gen 3 Hemi to distinguish from earlier Hemi engines.^[1]
  • 5.7 L Hemi - The smallest modern Hemi, introduced in 2002.
  • 6.1 L Hemi - A larger modern Hemi, 2004-2010.
  • 6.4 L Hemi - A larger bore modern Hemi, introduced in 2011.

Chrysler also inherited an engine from American Motors (AMC):

• 1970-1991 AMC 360 - American Motors' "GEN-2" V8s were first introduced mid-1966 in a Rambler American Rogue hardtop. Displacements ran from 290 to 401 CID. The 360 version of this engine family continued to be produced after the 1987 buyout by Chrysler Corporation. This 360-cubic-inch (5.9-liter) V8 powered the full-size Jeep Wagoneer, which was produced until 1991 and was the last carbureted car/truck engine built in North America.

Big block V8

Chrysler's big-block V8s fall into the following families:

• 1958-1978 Chrysler B engine (350/361/383/400)
• 1959-1978 Chrysler RB engine (383/413/426W/440)
• 1964-1971 Chrysler Hemi engine (426, sometimes called the 2G or Gen 2 Hemi to distinguish from earlier and later Hemi engines.^[1]

The 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) RB block was only available in 1959-1960 on the U.S. built Chrysler Windsor and Saratoga.
