The robot recording was annoying as hell...

The cross-section view at 0:26 is of a POLY engine. The intake valve with the pushrod going underneath is a dead giveaway.

The 361, 383 and 413 continued being offered for Dodge's medium-weight trucks until that line was discontinued in the U.S. after 1977. Afterward, the Trenton Engine plant that made these big blocks would only manufacture the 400 and 440 in the Power Wagon pick-ups, but only until the end of model-year 1978; in light of Chrysler's 1979 near-bankruptcy episode, the Trenton Engine plant was overhauled to manufacture the 2.2L "Trans-Four" engine that was used in many Chrysler front-wheel-drive cars such as the Omni/Horizon and Aries/Reliant, among others.

Are you sure the 383 was used in Industrial applications? I'm pretty sure only the 361 & 413 were the Industrial big blocks...

Well done

Great education. Thanks for sharing. I learned so much.

The 383 RB was used in Police car's as well

Thanks for this

1965 426 street wedge was also available in C bodies, not just B.

There were no small-block B series engines. The small-blocks were A and LA. B engines were all big blocks, with RBs being the biggest big blocks.

Nice Mopar knowledge

I remember those giant six cell batteries to just crank over high compression big blocks. They were truck batteries.

65 Coronet 273 had adjustable rocker arms. I wanted to do a cam install when I did a head job on the motor. My step dad would have been pissed so I did not. Yeah we are talking big blocks but many were built with hydraulic cams and non adjustable rocker arms. The kid down the street bought a flat tappet cam for his 440 build and forgot the correct rocker arms. He singed his eyebrows looking down the carb. It was funny!

1964-67 273 engines had mechanical lifters. The 273 got hydraulic lifters in 1968-69. All other LA engines had hydraulic lifters as well.

The Grand daddy of modern day muscle

B blocks are short deck big blocks and the RB is a tall deck big block Mopar has 2 383CI engines one in Short deck form and Tall deck form

This is true. Dodge never used the Red Ram name on the wedge engines. The picture in the video shows a Hemi engine.

True but it was a rare option only available in 1969 and 1970. Most 440s had a single 4 barrel carburetor.

I have 2 1970 V-code cars. A ‘Cuda and a Charger. Both 4-Speed Dana. All 440 blocks are all the same. The only difference is the HP stamp for the different internals.

​@@drippinglassAll 440 blocks are NOT the same. There's different power steering pump bosses cast into the left "drivers" side of the block. Some have no bolt bosses, some have 1, and some (the latest years) have 2.

Still have never even seen a pic of a supposed mopar "350 big block" what where there like 2 made?

The 350 shared the 4.030 bore dimension of the RB 383 engine... both were dropped after two years The 361 was bored to 4.125, and the LB 383 was bored to 4.250.
