==={{anchor|RB383}} 383=== [[File:1959 Chrysler B-series 383ci V8 engine in a Windsor.jpg|thumb|RB 383 "Golden Lion" engine in a 1959 Windsor]] Not to be confused with the 383 ''B'' engine, the 383 ''RB'' had a {{cvt|4+1/32|in|mm in|sigfig=4}} bore combined with the long stroke of {{convert|3+3/4|in|mm|1|adj=on}}, for a displacement of {{cvt|382.905|cuin|cc|0|adj=ri1}}. It was only available in 1959 and 1960 on the U.S.-built [[Chrysler Windsor]]s and [[Chrysler Saratoga#1959|Saratogas]]; one of Trenton Engine's lines had been converted to the new RB engine (to make the 413), and demand for the 383 B engine was too high for the remaining line. The solution was to create a 383 RB to fill the gap until the plant figured out how to quickly switch from one block to the other.
