Re: IML: Engine specs

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.
