Re: IML: Trivia Question - super prize for first correct answer

Just a little OT toot here...The 320 CID Buick straight Eight had 180 HP for years, and was the most powerful standard American engine, until the Hemi came out. While it didn't have the Hemi combustion chambers, it did have a raised piston top and a rather sophisticated combustion pattern.

That 1st Chrysler Firepower engine had 331 cu. ins. and was rated 180 hp at 4000 rpm with a 2 bbl carb. and 7.5:1 compression ratio. THIS WAS 20 HP MORE THAN THE EQUIVALENT CADILLAC MODEL."

 

Sorry I yelled at the end.
