This is the first I have ever heard of Mopar making a 260 C.I. V8, never seen any references in any Motor or Chilton's automotive repair motor manual to them either confused down
I have heard of and possibly seen several 301 C.I. Mopar early (1955 and later) poly headed V8 production car motorsconfused work shruggy


Maybe he means the 277? The 277 was offered in '55 and '56 and could be had with 2 and 4 barrel carburetion. It was of course, a Polyspherical engine.
Hard to believe there's also a 301 and a 303. The 303 (and it's cousin, the 313) were Canadian/Export-only engines. Interesting point is that the 303 used the 277's connecting rods.
