Wouldn’t that look like a sombrero???
Don’t forget e bodies get twisted up with the 330 vs 335 horse motor too. I had a ‘70 grand coupe w a 330 horse 383 4 barrel. It ran pretty hard. I just chalk it up to marketing...[/QUOTE]
You are 100% right on this. My Challenger is a non R/T. It has everything a 383 magnum would have, taller pistons, good valve springs, dual snorkel, same AVS, N code in VIN, E63 on tag but no HP on the block, and no Magnum on the pie tin.
They were pretty particular about keeping that 335 horse number attached to certain cars.
Let's face it, their horsepower numbers are essentially made up, and a timing change can net you the 5 horsepower between the two engines.
