Plymouth Superbird Engines and Transmissions

Plymouth Superbird engine choices centre on large gasoline V8s with ample pulling power. Selected examples include the manual 6.9 MT and 7.2 MT, alongside the automatic 6.9 AT, all driving the rear wheels. A manual gives you direct control over gear changes, while an automatic makes driving in traffic less demanding.
