Re: IML: Engine switch

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never heard the 318 poly called elephant before.  That term was usually 
reserved for the 426 hemi.  The 318 was a small block, the A engine.  The LA 
was a later, revised version, started as 273, then 318, later 340 and 360.  
The poly heads looked much bigger, so I've heard them called "whale" blocks, 
though I don't think they were actually any bigger.  It won't bolt up to a 
big block trans.
