Re: Mopar terms pt 2 motors

Chryslers B engine was a big-block V8 which replaced the early Chrysler
FirePower engine or Hemi in 1958. It did not have hemispherical heads like
the FirePower — rather it had wedge-shaped heads. All B-series engines have
a 3.375 inches (85.7 mm) stroke. Chrysler also produced a larger version,
the Chrysler RB engine.  The RB engine is a big-block V8 engine from
Chrysler. It first appeared in 1959 and was a raised-deck (taller) version
of the Chrysler B engine. The big-block RB lasted until 1978. All RB engines
have a 3.75 in (95 mm) stroke, with the bore being the defining factor in
engine size. Bore center distance is 4.84". All RBs are oversquare, but the
sheer size of the engines means that torque is not lacking. The "R" in "RB"
indicates raised, as the RB has a higher deck than the B Engine.

Also, with motors, I believe I saw some terms as A, LA motors etc. What are
the differences to these? I think understand the meanings of B/BB motors
though. B being a standard big block versus BB being a bib block with raised
cylinder decks. Correct?
