1958 Chrysler 300D—Technical Data
- Information
- The standard engine in the 1958 300D was upgraded from the previous year. The 392 HEMI V8 featured 10.0:1 compression, new valve timing, heavier pistons, and a new camshaft, which resulted in 380 hp. A very rare option was a 390 hp HEMI with electronic fuel-injection. This EFI system proved trouble-prone and most of the 35 fuel-injected cars were recalled to install the standard dual carburetors. Exterior changes were minimal.
