Thanks, but I don't see an "RL" listing on that page.
Unless it's for L = 'Low Compression' and R = '1961'.
But a HEMI in 1961? L and R are stamped after the block leaves the mold while the LR is a raised casting created from the mold. I've never seen a conclusive explanation as to what the raised casting symbols mean but they're obviously foundry info.
