1955 Dodges were equipped with 270 cu. in. engines. This was the Red Ram engine, a variation of the original Chrysler FirePower hemi, used exclusively by Dodge with the exception being it was installed in early 55 Plymouths and equipped with poly heads for these cars. Enlarged to 315 cu.in. for 1956. Enlarged again to 325 cu. in for 1957, again available with hemi or poly heads. 1958 the 325 only available with poly heads. Last year for this engine. New engine for 58, the B-block 350 cu. in "Ram Fire" engine, 361 cu.in.
