Due to the stricter emission regulations, the legendary big-block V8s were replaced with the 340-cubic-inch V8 (240 hp) in 1972 and then the 360-cubic-inch V8 (245 hp) in 1973. Consequently, the Challenger shared the base 225-cubic-inch slant-6 with 145 horsepower, alongside the 318-cubic-inch V8 with 230 hp and the 340-cubic-inch V8 with 275 to 290 hp. Initially, the Javelin was offered with 258-cubic-inch (225 hp) and 343-cubic-inch (235 hp) V8s, but AMC later offered a larger 390-cubic-inch (315 hp) V8 with the performance-oriented Go Package.
