SynopsisThe late 1960s and early 1970s were the pinnacle of the muscle-car era. To make their presence known, high-performance Mopars had aggressive looks and tire-smoking horsepower in doses to fit everyone's taste and pocketbook. The 1968 Road Runner offered a freshly restyled body, cartoonish decorations, and a hot base 383-ci engine - it was a street racer's dream. The single expensive flaw was the only optional engine: a Hemi. This left a wide gulf between being fast (383) and being really fast (Hemi). In 1969, the problem was rectified by the 390-horsepower 440 Six-Pack. The option cost half as much as a Hemi and gave Hemi-like performance. It made its way into a number of vehicles, including the Road Runner, Super Bee, GTX, Coronet R/T, Charger R/T, 'Cuda, Challenger, and the rare Superbird. In addition, the AAR 'Cuda and T/A Challenger featured Six-Pack technology on the smaller 340-ci "A" engine. In Six Pack: Mopar Street Muscle in the '60s, author Robert Genat pays homage to the powerful Mopar Six-Pack cars that have often been lost in the large performance shadow cast by the Hemi. Genat's amazing color photography and insightful writing make this book a must-have for every Mopar enthusiast. Book jacket., The Six-Pack option, available on certain models and engines, included 3 two-barrel carburetors. Not only did this arrangement look impressive, but it also produced some impressive horsepower figures and was bolted onto some of the most legendary engines Chrysler ever produced. This book covers not only the engines, but also the cars they came in, the development history, advice for tuning and modifying, and information on other Chrysler performance models.
