Brother from another mother: 11 shared engine displacements

[Bryan]

Today it’s common to find engines from several manufacturers that share displacement figures. Engineers determined that 500 cc per cylinder is a sweet spot for efficiency with low emissions and, consequently, there are lots of 2.0-liter four-cylinders, 3.0-liter sixes, and 4.0-liter V-8s. Before that discovery, road taxes in some countries also influenced displacement. Plenty of manufacturers ended up with engines designed to fit under certain mandated thresholds.

The Mopar 273, 318, 340, 360 were all small block engines. In 1958 Mopar  built a 350 big block, which eventually grew into 361, 383 and 400 low deck engines.

Yes the first version of the Mopar 383 was the first RB block.

AMC terrified the racing world with the small block 401 I think the big three had something to do with its quick demise..
