The LA {{cvt|360|CID|L|1}} has a bore and stroke of {{cvt|4x3.58|in|1}}. It was released in 1971 with a two-barrel [[carburetor]]. The 360 used the large intake port 340 heads with a smaller intake valve of {{cvt|1.88|in}}. In 1974, with the introduction of the code E58 4-barrel dual-exhaust version, at {{cvt|245|hp|0}} [[Horsepower#SAE net power|SAE net]], it became the most powerful LA engine with the end of 340 production. Power started dropping from 1975 on as more emission controls were added resulting with the 1980 E58 engine only producing {{cvt|185|hp|0}} SAE net. Starting with 1981, the 360 was exclusively used in Dodge trucks and [[Dodge B-series van|vans]].

The 1978–1979 Li'l Red Express truck used a special high-performance 360 4-barrel engine with factory production code EH1 that was rated at 225 SAE Net HP in production form <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dodgeconnection.com/LilRedInfo.html|title = About - Lil Red Express Trucks}}</ref> The EH1 was a modified version of the E58 360 police engine (E58) producing {{cvt|225|hp|kW|0}} net at 3800&nbsp;rpm due in part, that as it was installed in a "truck", and not a car, it did not have to use catalytic converters (1978 only) which allowed for a free-flowing exhaust system. Some prototypes for the EH1 featured Mopar Performance W2 heads, although the production units had the standard 360 heads. Some police package cars came from the factory with a steel crank and h-beam rods.<ref name=Allpar>{{cite web|title=The Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck |url= http://www.allpar.com/trucks/dodge/lil-red-truck.html |publisher=Allpar |access-date=17 December 2017}}</ref> There was also a "lean burn" version of the 360. The LA360 was replaced in 1993 by the 5.9 Magnum, which shared some design parameters with the LA360, but the majority of its components were different.

Due to additional modifications, the prototype Li'l Red Express truck tested by various period magazines ran appreciably stronger than actual production examples.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/features/mopp-0111-1978-dodge-lil-red-express-truck/|title = 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck and How Tom Hoover Helped Chrysler Get into Light Duty Trucks|date = November 2001}}</ref>
