When Chrysler introduced the 350 and 361 "B" series of engines in 1958,
they launched a legacy of performance that sparked the muscle car war of
the sixties and early seventies. Within a few years, these engines
evolved into the famed 426 Hemi, 413 Max Wedge and 440 Six-Pack. Dubbed
"elephant motors" by enthusiasts, racers, and hot rodders alike, these
big-blocks ruled the streets in Barracudas, Challengers, Furys, and
Chargers. They were also used in a wide variety of other Chrysler,
Dodge, and Plymouth cars and trucks.
