I was always told the reason push rod angles suck on an LA is because they never changed the lifter angle from a poly.

Correct, Chrysler was saving a dime from retooling. The pushrod angle was designed for the polyhead and they needed a smaller v8 package for the new a-bodys so a smaller head was designed for the block they had. The block had proven to be very good, all about money. I think the poly head would have been a better perfprmance head in the long run(canted valves).
