This engine replaced the A-series engine (“LA” stands for “Light A”) in most models, as the original A-series engine was phased out in 1967. Initially introduced with a displacement of 273 ci, the 318- and 340-ci (the performance version) engines arrived in 1967 and 1968, respectively. Eventually, the 340-ci engine grew to 360 ci and was tamed down as emissions became more of a concern. In 1992, Chrysler released the Magnum version of the LA-series engine as a 318-ci 5.2L powerplant to further address those emissions issues. The 360-ci engine became a 5.9L Magnum in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses exclusively on the rebuilding of the LA-series engine (pre-Magnum) from 1964 to 1992. Veteran author and former Chrysler engineer Larry Shepard walks you through the process of a complete engine rebuild using step-by-step instruction and more than 500 photos. The required tools and a thorough diagnosis to determine if the engine truly needs a rebuild are included. Disassembly, analysis, and inspection of which parts can be saved and which must be replaced, parts selection (OEM or aftermarket), machining, reassembly, and engine break-in are covered. All systems and parts are examined, including the block, cylinder heads, cams, valvetrain, rotating assembly, induction system, and exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are restoring a Dart, Valiant, Duster, Barracuda, or Dodge truck or you simply want to know how to rebuild this engine, Shepard guides you every step of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages :\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize :\u003c\/b\u003e 8.5 X 11 (inches)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat :\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback \/ softback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrations :\u003c\/b\u003e 508 color photos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher :\u003c\/b\u003e CarTech\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN :\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613258613\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Code :\u003c\/b\u003e SA554\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CarTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44629637824615,"sku":"CT-SA554","price":57.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/0209\/files\/MoparSmallBlockLASeries-SA554.jpg?v=1789594675","url":"https:\/\/www.drivebuy.net.au\/products\/mopar-small-block-la-series-engines-1964-1992-how-to-rebuild","provider":"DriveBuy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
