Here are some more information for Plymouth Engine Bolt:

Whenever it comes to upgrading or replacing engines for those who want maximum power it seems it is always the bigger the more powerful, the better. So it goes with Chrysler motors especially when it comes to the vintage retro "Muscle Cars" of the 1960's and 1970's.

The "B" and "RB" series can be said to be the "Big Boys" or the "Big Blocks".

The basic designs of the "B" as well as the "RB" series of power plants are essentially the similar if not the same. This means to a reasonably experienced automotive person with automotive repair skills, that a "RB" series engine can be installed in place of an "R" and vice verso. Take note that if an RB block is wider and taller than its cousin or sister.

If an RB block replaces a previous B block under the hood the mechanic in charge may well find that he or she will have to proceed with additional modifications to accommodate the increased size and girth of the newer replacement engine block. In addition for clearance needs special or different exhaust manifolds or headers may be required.

The question becomes if all B engine blocks - that is the Chrysler 350. 361, 383 and 400 - are of a similar design? It seems that this group and family are all pretty much laid out the same of the same designs. Two bolt main bearing caps are the distinguishing feature in this series. You can count on the essential designs and layout being very strong and durable. So durable in fact that Chrysler never entertained the need to enhance the product line, and upscale it with four-bolt blocks, even in their very high and highest performance versions. Basically you can be reassured that virtually all the parts and components, that is except the pistons themselves, among all the different displacement versions, are interchangeable with no modifications required. Well that is the theory at least. Welcome to the real world of cars, autos and automotive and classic 60's "Muscle Cars" enthusiasts. They are a strange and unique breed indeed.

What of the "RB" blocks? "RB" engine blocks share many similarities with the "R" series but they are not exactly identical, although more than similar. The main bearing journal diameters are the same as the "R"s. However you can count on this grouping of motors being overall larger than those of the "B" set. It is often noted that the cylinder bore diameters themselves are different among the different displacement engine varieties (413,426 and that of the massive 440) and that generally the smaller displacement in real life motoring on American roads and highways do not have a thick enough bore sleeve to accommodate the strain and work to be over-bored to accept pistons from the next larger displacement version. It can be said , for good effort and results, that you can count on the majority, if not the entire groupings, of the "RB" engines to have the same reliable, durable and racetrack proven two-bolt main bearings caps setup.

With your new and larger engine especially with the 1960's Chrysler and Mopar "Muscle Cars" of legend - be they 60's Plymouth "Road Runners" or Dodge "Super Bees" or all the way to the 1970 Mopar Challengers, Barracudas all the way to the 426 Hemi Cuda the thrill of speed on the highways and roadways of America as well is Canada is always there. On top of that you cannot have too big or too powerful motor and engine block.

Rookie Guide On How To Buy A Muscle Car: Determine How You Want To Use The Car

This portion of your muscle-car-to-be process is a critical one, as when it's all said and done…..what you end up doing with the car is almost the entire reason to purchase one!  Below are the six most common uses of muscle cars today:

* Weekend Funmobile
* Car Show Winner
* Pro-Touring Car (i.e. – a muscle car that can go, stop, and turn)
* Drag Racer
* Investment
* Drive Anywhere, Anytime

Now that we know what the common uses are, let's break those down a bit – and see which one if a fit for you!

Weekend Funmobile:
A  car that fits this category is one that you purchase simply for the please of driving it on nice days.  It's never going to see snow, and will only see rain if you can't beat the storm clouds home.  It need not have it's original engine, transmission, etc., nor does it need not have a $20K paint job.  It's only real goal is to be a reliably running, comfortable driving car that is likely in stock condition with the addition of a set of nice sounding mufflers.  Hop in and take the friends and family over to the Dairy Queen!

Car Show Winner:
A car that fits this category on a consistent basis will either be an all original numbers-matching car (meaning it has it's original engine and transmission) that is in meticulous condition, or is a modified car – also in meticulous condition.   As a general rule of thumb, the popular models (Camaro's, Charger's, etc.) are a good fit here.  If they are a modified car, the modification will need to be unique and really well done (it needs to look expensive).  This is a car that won't be driven all that much – perhaps only a few times a year.  It's main goal is to sit, look pretty, and win you some trophy's!

Pro-Touring Car:
A Pro-Touring car is a muscle car modified with some of the latest "go fast" suspension, wheels/tires, and braking components required to make a world-class handling cars.  It will likely have some engine mods done as well.  (View products from Heidts, Detroit Speed, Hotchkis, and Griggs to get a general idea of what I am referring to.)  You can purchase an existing car and bolt on the fun parts, or purchase a car that is already modified.  A numbers-matching car in this category is not overly important.  This is a car that you will take autocrossing or to open track events at road courses.  It's main goal is to give you the driving experience of a new Corvette with the classic lines of American muscle.  Gas-brake-gas-shift-go!

Drag Racer:
A drag racing car is one……that you will take drag racing!  This category is fairly straight forward, but is specific to cars that have been purposely modified to run the 1/4 mile.  (As a side note, you can take any car you own to the strip and run it, but a purpose built car will beat you ever time!)  This car will run free flowing exhaust, a hopped up engine and transmission, will have a sparse interior, and will (likely) have a roll cage.  It's not one for the faint of heart and DOES need a mechanically inclined owner.

Investment:
An investment car is one that you purchase strictly for it's potential growth in value.  You're buying it now to sell it later (hopefully) at a higher price.  We'll still assume that you want to like the car, but truthfully, an investment car simply needs to hit a few (or most) of these criteria: be a popular make/model, be a rare model, be all original, be meticulously kept, be well documented, and be in as close to original condition as possible (it should look like it just rolled off of the assembly line).  These are the reaaaaaly high dollar cars you may find at a Barrett-Jackson auction.  Think of cars like original COPO Camaro's, Plymouth Superbirds, and BOSS Mustangs.

Drive Anywhere, Anytime:
A drive anywhere, anytime car is one that you would (almost) treat just like a regular car, and is essentially a mix-match of the other 5 categories mentioned.  Want to run it to Wal Mart?  No problem.   Taking a road trip to New York?  Top off the tank and let's go.  Cars that fit this category need not be numbers matching, nor do they necessarily need to have terrific paint and body work.  On the flip side, if money is no object, it can have flawless paint work, a hot engine, great suspension, and still fit this category.  It may or may not be a car that goes to car shows, but it does need to run well, be reliable, and (above all else) be incredibly fun and enjoyable to drive.

Which category fits you best?  Put your thinking cap on.  The next section of our series will help whittle things down even further:  "Determine your price range and payment method."  Take your time through this process and give it a lot of thought.  Know this though – somewhere out there a muscle car, which is a perfect fit for you, is waiting on you!
