Editing Chrysler LA engine (section)

== 318 V8 <span class="anchor" id="318"></span>==
The {{cvt|5203|cc|CID cc|1|order=out}} LA 318 has a bore and stroke of {{cvt|3.906x3.312|in|mm}}, identical to the [[Chrysler A engine#318|A 318]] it was derived from. It appeared in volume production beginning with the 1968 model year, replacing the last of the export "A" 318 engines equipped with polyspherical chambered heads ("A" 318 engines were not offered in 1967 domestic vehicles).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lotspeich |first1=Justin |title=Poly A Block Engine Numbers |url=https://poly318.com/engine-numbers-and-colors.html |website=Poly318 |publisher=Poly318 |access-date=7 July 2022}}</ref> The LA engine was available until 1991, when it was superseded by the Magnum version. It used hydraulic lifters and a two-barrel carburetor for most of its production, though four-barrel [[Carter Carburetor|Carter Thermo-Quad]] and [[Rochester Products Division|Rochester]] [[Quadrajet]] carburetors were used in police applications starting in 1978 and 1985, respectively. The 318 two-barrel ELD received roller lifters and a fast-burn chambered cylinder head in 1985 (the four-barrel police ELE 318 continued to use modified J heads and hydraulic flat valve lifters through 1989).

Throttle-body electronic fuel injection was factory equipment on the 1981–1983 [[Imperial (automobile)#Sixth generation (1981–1983)|Imperial]]. From 1988 to 1991, another throttle-body fuel injection system was used for truck and van applications.
