Bill Weetman's book, "Chrysler Engines, 1922 to 1998" is being published by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and can be ordered online at: http://www.sae.org/technical/books/R-365 Every production engine built by Chrysler is covered, with descriptions, pictures, specifications, and timelines provided for each. Each engine is defined in terms of its basic structure (including its cylinder bore spacing, number of main bearings, and valve operation). In addition to the specifications, the book also looks at the personalities behind the engines' development and the vehicles in which the engines were used Willem L. (Bill) Weertman spent 40 years with Chrysler Corporation. As Chief Engineer-Engine Engineering, he was responsible for all new engines for the corporation's new car lines of front-wheel drive vehicles and for adapting and testing the engines purchased from outside companies. He had previously held the titles of Chief Engineer of Engine Design and Development, and Assistant Chief Engineer-Engine Design, and he led the design efforts for the LA V-8 engine series, the 426 Hemi® competition and street engines, and an all new six-cylinder engine for manufacture in Australia. The book is expensive but knowing Bill it will be a first class publication. It's $70 to non-SAE members, $56 to SAE members. Thanks for prompting me on this subject - I'm going to order my copy today. Burt Bouwkamp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Klebert L.
