Poly Engine what was good/bad about it and why is the LA better?

The 318 poly is the reason early 273's had an alternator bracket with four head mounting holes. Two are for the poly 318, two are for the 273. Both motors used the same bracket. Many other parts same, too, including timing cover, pulleys, crank and rods.
All of the above is Really good information! I knew none of this before. Thanks much.
