What is a "WEDGE" motor......

Every chrysler v-8 engine is a wedge except for the 426 hemi and the 318 poly. The word "wedge" on the hood means nothing.

Actually any V-8 before 1958 wasn't a wedge. 1959-1978 B/RB's were wedges, 1964-2002 LA/Magnum's were wedge too. The most common Chrysler V-8's are wedge engines. The new Hemi's aren't wedges either, more of a bathtub-chamber engine. I think they just put the "wedge" callouts on those cars to sound cool, even though you couldn't get an engine in those cars that wasn't a wedge.
