100 HP and 165 Ft Lbs of torque, this 243 cubic inch disaster did not last long. A few were sold in 1977 & 78. They are very noisy, have poor performance and are a maintc headache. I know a small fleet that tried them and traded them in before they were three years old, whereas they normally kept their trucks for over twice that long.

In an attempt to appeal to those wishing better fuel economy, Chrysler basically reinvented the 230 flathead.
