Ranking The 8 Best V8 Engines Of All Time (And The 7 Worst)

I understand you. What further hampered any engine besides the massive amount of smog equipment and low compression would be just about everything else on the dang engines of the era. Small cams with weeinie springs, small valves, revised heads, carburetor smog updates... ugh! What a nightmare it was.

The Chrysler 400 wasn’t any better in the way it was crushed for power due to the emission standards of the time. While it made more power than the other offerings in it’s cubic inch class, it was still a horror.
