Interesting.

And yet Chrysler Australia had the 265 cube straight six bigger displacement but lighter the next size up from the GM 253 was a 308 then the 350 and for only a couple of years the 327.
Chrysler after the 225 slant had the 245 cube straight 6 then they introduced the 215 low compression base motor then the 265 and then the v8’s but they went mad on the 265 six by adding cams and triple Webber side draft carbs even to air freighting a complete car and engineers to Italy to get the tune set up

I've taken 277 twice in my life (guess I didn't learn the first time, huh?), so I'm well aware of the potential (pun intended).

About 20 years ago I was on the roof of a chicken processing plant in central MN that had a fire, and my job was to start-up the new (replacement) rooftop units that had been set after the rebuild. One of the units was wired reverse (rotation), and I asked the local "sparkies" to fix it so I could start-up the compressors and blowers. Three guys came up- two Journeymen and one Apprentice, and I guess the Apprentice wanted to appear enthusiastic, as he jumped right into the control panel in "my" unit and started loosening-up the incoming L1, L2, and L3 (allen head) terminals in the disconnect.

All of a sudden one of the Journeyman shouted, "BOBBY, FREEZE! DON'T MOVE!", with a VERY LOUD voice.

Turns out Bobby never hit the disconnect before starting-in, but thankfully he was standing on the only part of the rubber roof that wasn't wet from dew, otherwise he'd be singing with the angels right now.

Sometimes it's good to have a guardian angel, I guess.
