Re: LA Heads on a Poly A Block???

You have to change the camshaft. The blocks are the same 62-82 no real difference. That is why the lifter bores are so out of wack with LA heads. The heads and cam were changed but not the lifter angle.

They modified the block to fit 360 heads , maybe a bore notch to clear valves? Need custom pistons because a 360 head on a 318 will give you no compression as a 360 chamber is way big on a 318. 333 ci is a 4 inch bore engine, also a custom piston deal. 302 heads and zero deck will go way faster and on less octane.

Just my take reading the add. Car is probably a slug.

Subject: LA Heads on a Poly A Block???

So how would you modify a 66 poly block to accept 360 LA heads like
this ad states???

"1964 Dart for sale. It has a 1966 318 Poly block modified to fit 360
J heads, forged crank, balanced and blueprinted, J and E custom made
pistons (333 cu. in.), Eagle rods, Mopar performance 557 lift 292
duration cam, Crane-Gold race roller rockers 1.5 ratio, 360 J heads
ported and polished, Weiand tunnel ram intake w/ 2 600 Holleys, fluid
damper, 904 tranny w/ low first and second, Cheetah manual reverse
valve body, high performance clutch and band pak, Moser axles,
Richmond 4.88 gears, sub-frame connectors, fully tubbed, drag shocks
and Weld racing wheels. We also changed out the front end with a 1972
Dart to beef it up for the V8, and for the disc brakes. Then the rear
end is out of a 1968 Cuda. The Dart is not a show car but it is pretty
nice. The Mopar also has custom-made upholstery. Still needs a little
T.L.C. The Dart was not built for strictly racing because around here
(in Kingman, Az. about a half hour east of Laughlin) the car is
streetable. If I were going to race it I would probably switch out the
manifold and carbs. I do have over $20,000 in the Dodge but have had
some medical bills and just need the money, so I will sacrifice the
Dodge for $8,500
