This article will cover the majority of Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth V8 engines from 1958 through 1993. We have compiled a list of the casting numbers for both the cylinder heads and engine blocks, to be used as a reference when searching the junkyard. It will cover the following five engine families: A-Series: The A-series engine was a small-block Mopar (SBM) engine produced from 1956 through 1967. The A-series cylinder heads featured polyspheric (not hemispheric as found in the FirePower engines) combustion chambers, which led to them being referred to as Poly engines. It came in 277 cubic-inch, 301 cubic-inch, 303 cubic-inch, 313 cubic-inch and 318 cubic-inch displacements, along with a Dodge-specific variant measuring 325 cubic inches, but called a 326. LA-Series: The A-series’ successor, the LA-series engines are small-block Mopars which came on scene in 1964 and lasted until 1992.
A modernized version of the LA-series, dubbed “Magnum” carried the design all the way into the new millennium, finally coming to an end in 2003. The LA engines featured a “wedge” style combustion chamber as opposed to the A-series’ polyspheric chambers. The V8 versions of the LA-series started off with a 273 cubic-inch variant, followed by 318 cubic-inch, 340 cubic-inch, and 360 cubic-inch variants. B-Series: The B-series engine is Chrysler’s first official big-block engine.
Running scared 1986 ost rar. Now, the observant amongst you will, no doubt, have already noticed a certain growing similarity between our film and Bryan Singer’s brainy 1995 potboileur, The Useless Suspects: the DEA, an abortive quayside drug buy; Dan Hedaya as a gnarly old desk jockey; an exotic, enigmatic Kingpin; the unexpected remove to sunnier climes; regular Joes caught up in a Kafkaesque cyclone of those unnameable cabalistic forces that claim suzerainty over God’s holy providence and shall most assuredly deliver us all into the maw of an ancient, preternatural evil, oh yea! But whereas Suspects - although the weaker film when taken as a whole - had the strength of conviction to set the controls for the heart of the sun and sentence its protagonists to meet their inescapable doom in the eternal brackish fires of an increasingly kaleidoscopic LA that mirrored the moral turpitude of their souls, Scared simply subjects our boys to an extended scuba montage before whisking them back to the Second City for further bickering and some more mad shootouts.
Released in 1958, they existed until 1978. Available in 350 cubic-inch and 361 cubic-inch variants at first, there were also 383 cubic-inch and 400 cubic-inch B-series engines. They shared most of their architecture with the RB-series, but with a shorter 3.375-inch stroke. Both the B and RB-series engines featured wedge-style combustion chambers. RB-Series: The RB-series engines came about a year after the B-series, and featured a longer 3.75-inch stroke for increased displacements of 383 cubic inches, 413 cubic inches, 426 cubic inches and 440 cubic inches. The 426 Wedge was Chrysler’s main performance engine until the 426 Hemi came on scene.
426 Hemi: The 426 Hemi was actually the second generation of hemispherical-headed engines, but were the first ones to actually be given the name of “Hemi.” It was released in 1964 and lasted until 1971. The iconic Mopar performance engine only existed in a 426 cubic-inch displacement in production vehicles, and is probably the rarest of any on this list. CYLINDER HEADS The casting numbers for small-block Mopar and big-block Mopar are a seven-digit number, which is raised, and usually found in one of two locations. The first would be on the top of the intake runner, under the valve cover. The second location is on the underside of the intake runner on the cylinder head.
