[[Plymouth automobile|Plymouth]] called their versions of the early B engine the ''Commando'', variants of which included the ''Golden Commando'' and ''Sonoramic Commando''. It produced {{cvt|305|bhp|kW|0}}. [[DeSoto (automobile)|DeSoto]]'s B engine was named ''Turboflash'' and produced {{cvt|295|bhp|kW|0}}. The [[Dodge]] standard version was a 2-barrel with {{cvt|295|bhp|kW|0}} called the ''Super Red Ram'' with an optional variant that was called the ''D500'' and produced {{cvt|320|bhp|kW|0}}.
