Default Re: 58 Edsel engine

Those were the Chrysler B or wedge type engines so they are different from the Hemi types.

Chrysler did the same thing as GM & Ford for marketing the first generation Hemi engines. They had sizes for Chrysler, Dodge, Desoto, and Plymouth as well as trucks. The 426 was the second generation Hemi and they were overly complicated engines when compared to the competitions designs plus they were just plain BIG.
