Chrysler's Mightiest V-8

The 1955 Chrysler 300 with its hemispherical-head V-8 engine was a marketing, sales and racing legend. The 426 Hemi V-8 of the 1960s and 1970s was feared in NASCAR, NHRA and AHRA drag racing, and powered some of the most famous musclecars of the era. With first-time interviews with many of the Chrysler engineers who worked on, tested and built these engines, this book is the definitive history of these great V-8 engines. Illustrated with many rare photographs from the Chrysler archives. Anthony Young is also the author of the best-selling Mighty Mopars.
