Need some advice 318 POLY vs 318 LA

Please define “Larger footprint” please.

I wanna know too, since the A and LA blocks are essentially the same exact size. The only weight differences would be the heads and intake.

I was referring to the overall width fully assembled. Its already covered in another post above. It's not a HUGE difference, but every inch counts under the hood of an A body. Sorry if that was confusing at all.
