Chrysler, one of the most dominant names during the early “Muscle Car” era, developed three basic series of engines which are still very popular in racing and performance today. Recently, the engineers at Chrysler added two versions of a new V-10. Both have become very popular. For our purposes we will refer to the 273-360 Small Block Chrysler engines as the “A” engine, the 383-440 Big Block standard head engines as the “B” engine, and don’t forget the ever popular Hemi. In these pages we have attempted to pass along some common “tips” learned during our many years of engine building, as well as the experiences of many of our customers. We will not attempt to cover all of the little things, only the more unique and aggravating trouble spots. If ever in doubt, there are many excellent reference manuals. (Mopar Performance) is one of the best. It goes into great detail about Chrysler engines.

Instructions:
1. Remove the stock GM 245mm impeller hub by boring a 3.380″/3.385″ diameter hole on center in the stock GM 245mm impeller (see Figure 1).
2. Install the Sonnax CH-90CM-27 impeller hub from the outside. Weld around the OD of the impeller hub, making sure it is centered in the impeller. This weld must be leak-proof (see Figure 2).
3. Once the impeller hub is fitted, fixture the impeller assembly in the lathe. Turn the lip of the impeller so that it is 3.80″ from the end of the impeller hub. Then turn the OD down to 10.150″/10.145″ diameter, .40″ from the end (see Figure 3).
4. Install the adapter ring on the impeller assembly as shown in Figure 4 and weld around the OD of the impeller. This weld must be leak-proof.
