[FWDLK] 'A' engine to 'LA' engine

[eddee <eddee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List

Things have been a bit quiet so time to ask a question.

 

Was there any SPECIFIC reason that CHRYSLER dropped the 318 and 326 'A' POLY engines and went to the 'LA' series in the late 60s???

 

There are so many similiarities that I cannot under stand why they did not continue on like the small block Chev did.

 

The items that did change certainly cost a bundel for retooling.  There had to be a good reason.

 

ANY IDEAS??
