It has a bore of 4.1875 inches. During that period, it powered almost all Chrysler New Yorker and all Imperial models, and was also available on the lesser Chryslers, [[Dodge Polara]], [[Dodge Monaco]], and [[Plymouth Fury]] as an alternative to the B-block 383 and the [[Chrysler A engine|A-block 318]]. It was also fitted to some European cars such as the later [[Facel Vega Facel II]].
