Best Years for the 318 LA?
'68 and '69 318s were the factory 230 hp 9.2:1 cr engines came with 2bbl carbs. Full floating rods, valve relief pistons .040 ths in the hole.
My favorite 318 to look for if the cylinder bores are not gone so you can reuse the good pistons.
Then there are the '89 to '91 318 TBI roller engines. Also 9.2:1 with the flat top pistons and full floating rods. Also 230 hp. These came factory with the 302 closed chamber heads.
Needs the adapter on the end of the cam snout to mount the fuel pump eccentric.
Both favorite 318 engines.
