1994 Dodge 318LA or Magnum

[53Dreamin]

Hey everyone, 1st post. I am just getting back into working on cars again, and I am working on a 1971 Duster, and looking to just get a 318 in it. Someone I know is trying to get rid of a 318 but I am a little confused about what the engine is. He said was out of his dads 1994 van, is this a LA or a Magnum? Appreciate the help. I also tried to get some more photos but he does not live near it.

LA's are good dependable engines. The Magnums are better IMO. Roller cam, better heads (but prone to cracking which is rarely an issue)

Since it's a 94, it may be one of the early Magnum blocks that is also drilled for oiling the rockers on LA heads. If that's the case......win-win!
