This is strange, Dave – my book shows that only the
323 Cu In was used in Imperials, and that there was no 276 Cu In engine in
that year, only the 241 (6 cylinder), or the 273 (8 cylinder) in lesser non-airflow
Chryslers; neither was used in Imperials.
160 would have been VERY high HP rating for that size engine
– even the Packard 385 Cu In was only rated at 150 HP.

Can anyone tell me where to access engine Torque specs for a
