they used the same block regardless of head design. They were visibly
different from the early 318 in that the scallop pattern at the bottom of the
valve cover was more pronounced. I believe this was always a Dodge engine with
the exception of '57 DeSoto Firesweeps which also used the 325.

between it and the later one with the 273-style heads) are the '56-'57 Plymouth
277, the '57 Plymouth 301, and the '59 Dodge Coronet 326. I've been told the
Canadian 303 (found in '56 Furys and Canadian '56 Windsors) is also of this
family.
