For Sale 1970 Chrysler Cordoba 383 H.p. N code 750. Commerce Ciry Co. [Denver]

I knew this would end badly for my argument I will go to my room.:busted:

2bbl and the 4bbl both used same cam in 70 unless you had a low comp 4 bbl which I would have to guess is station wagon single snorkel log manifold single exhaust.

That chart makes my brain ache.

That's for 70, what about 71? It shows two different cam numbers

In 71, there was no separate 383-HP assembly. There was either the 383-2 or 383-4. The 71 383-4 used the same cam as the 440-4 HP

Who said the same cam was used in in the 330 and the 290 horse engines?

Straight from the 1970 Newport data book - 290hp and 330hp specs are the same for heads and cam duration.

And for comparison - the Belevedere / Roadrunner info:

Also from the Belevedere book - the 335hp motor was available in Belevedere, Satellite, and Sport Satellite with a manual trans.

Maybe even more interesting is this in the 1970 Barracuda AMA Specs - 335hp motor has 10.5 compression, but also a 200rpm higher rev. Below are all the engine differences I see on these sheets.

I'll put my head on the chopping block and offer the axe to anybody that wishes it.
I have interpreted from all the official literature this:
In 1970, the year we are focusing on because we are talking about the 1970 Newport Cordoba for sale,
The 383-2 and the 383-4 330 hp. engines used the same cam.
The 383-4 HP 335 hp. engine used a slightly hotter cam from the 440 (which one, I do not know as yet).
The 383-4 HP 335 hp was avail. with and w/o A.C.
The 383-4 HP 335 hp was avail. in B & E bodies only.


Anyone that wants to swing the axe?

Is Barry Washington Hamtramck-Historical?

I've been meaning to send in a check for any bandwidth I may have burnt up.

Just clarifying with bold.

.

Yes. HH is Barry's site. He just allows some of us to play on his playground. Thank you for using the site and the resources.

Lots of Chrysler literature backs this up as you see. Help us out a little here and do some reading before you muddy the waters, eh?

Now we are getting somewhere. Next question - Is the '70 Cordoba a Mexico only export car? If that is the case would it have been manufactured in LA? Would the plant of origin indicate any of the factors i.e. emission equipment, paint, etc. ? I know that lots of cars here in OR (sold new in Oregon that is) are equipped with CA emissions equipment of the era. I guess I am wondering if the corporate blue 383-4 barrel, 330hp, non-HP, A/C equipped engine would be an LA only thing of not.

Why is this starting to remind me of Alice's Restaurant?

Thanks again for all of the factual input from all of you. It's fun to study the old literature and work towards a generally accepted opinion based on fact, not just the same-ole internet "I told you so" BS.

How am I muddying your waters?? This is a forum where we are all striving to learn and contribute. If we were all doing some reading on are own there'd be no need for the informative conversation. Eh?

No. Designed and marketed for the U.S. market. Like any Chrysler, they may have been exported to God knows where.
