start off with the old 225 slant six. originally designed as a truck motor and pulled like a 14 year old

then you have the 215, 245 and 265 hemi sixes

273, 318, 340 and 360 V8s

the big blocks are the ones you want
392 and 426 hemi.
there were also a lot of other hemi motors starting from the 354 way back when moses played fullback for the jeruseleum lions. the development of the hemi head was over a lot of years. i believe there were some oldsmobile ones, but i'm not sure if any parts were interchangable or not (this is a new one on me)

and then there's the non hemi V8s- 361, 383, 440 and a crapload of others in trucks.
chrysler has always played the options game with motor vehicles and did the same with engines. if parts can be interchanged or optioned, they probably did itin the factory
i've probably missed a heap that are noteworthy, but someone else will take up the slack, i'm sure
