Quote: He doesn't have an engine yet, so it looks like he'll be building a 360 since they are easier to find. An earlier poster mentioned using a Magnum over an LA, how can we tell the difference? Is there a good book on building smallblack mopars?
The easiest way to tell a magnum from a LA engine is the valve covers.
LA has 5 bolts per cover
MAg. has 10 bolts per covers.
There are a ton of small block moapr books out there know.
