Plymouth's Basic
Power Team
Plymouth offers a range of 145 to 365 horsepower...and a V-8 design
that dates back to 1955. And Plymouth's basic power is weaker, too.
- 3-speed manual transmission, synchronized on 2 gears only
- 225-cubic inch Six
- 145 horsepower
- 4 main bearings
- Mechanical valve lifters
PLYMOUTH: This Six design is 5 years old. Four bearings mean less
smoothness. Mechanical valve lifters are noisier and need more care. |
