Re: 318 engine

[RCoronetfreak@xxxxxxx]

Look for a marking on the left side, front of block, below cylinder head  for 
an engine ID.  Best way to tell is to look at the casting number on the  
sides of the block.  It will also have a date code on the side of the  block.  It 
would read have a month-day-year.  An LA 318 will have a  later '66 and up 
date code.  A Poly 318 will have a '66 or earlier date  code...that is unless it 
is a Canadian built poly which went through '67.   Email me with the part 
number on the side and I can check my reference book if  you would like.  
Although, I have a '65 Coronet that had a 273 from the  factory.  I was told by the 
guy that I bought it from that someone had  stolen the engine and trans out of 
it while the owner before him was at work so  they put an LA motor in it.  He 
thought that the car was a factory 318  car...it wasn't and the engine was the 
factory.  It is funny how people  shoot you a line of bull when you are 
purchasing a car thinking that you don't  know any better anyway.  Keep that in mind 
too.  Some people know  what a later 318 looks like but do not even know a 
273 exists.  
Just some tips.
