The RB engine is a big-block V8 engine from Chrysler. It first appeared in 1958 and was a raised-deck (taller) version of the Chrysler B engine. The big-block RB lasted until 1978. All RB engines have a 3.75 in (95 mm) stroke, with the bore being the defining factor in engine size. All RBs are oversquare, but the sheer size of the engines means that torque is not lacking.

This engine was only produced from 1958 to 1960. 413The 413 RB had a 4.18 in (106 mm) bore and was produced from 1963 to 1973. 426Not to be confused with the famous 426 Hemi, the 426 RB Wedge was a wedge-head RB big-block with a 4.25 in (108 mm) bore. It was produced from 1963 to 1966. 440The massive 440 RB was produced from 1966 until 1978, making it the last of the Chrysler big-blocks. The 440 was used in the following vehicles:
