I've got a '70 & '73 318LA engine. Are there any differences that I should be aware to make my decision on which one to rebuild? Or are they the same engine?
We had a GIGANTIC controversy on here one day where someone accused me of lying. I don't take such comments lightly. "The thing is" some blocks have blind head bolts and some don't which may or may not indicate stronger blocks]
Wow, you don't hold grudges, do you??? That's an old thread....
I don't believe that is correct, but will welcome a verified correction on that; there is a lot of confusion on this point. From all I can gather, Mopar went to cast iron in the 273's and 318's in '68 for the cars.The 70 should have a steel crank.

FWIW my '68 318 had a cast crank and was from a Fury III. The best way to find out what type of crank it has is to just pull the pan...

If you want much power have them sonic checked for cylinder wall thickness
