How the Chrysler B engine works
In short: The Chrysler B engine is a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines that use wedge-shaped combustion chambers.
1. In 1958, Chrysler introduced the B and RB engines to replace the Chrysler FirePower engines. 2. These engines are often referred to as wedge engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers. 3. The 426 Wedge served as the main performance engine for Chrysler until the 426 Hemi was introduced. 4. The era of Chrysler big-block engines ended when the last B-RB wedge-headed engine was produced in August 1978.
