I won?t claim to be an expert on 318s, but it is my understanding that the
common modern nickname for the early 318 is ?wide block?. The early 318 is
really an ?A? series small block engine (277, 301, 303, 318, 326) used from
1956 to 1967 (or 1966?). The heads were of the Poly design. This 318 was
replaced by the ?LA? (Late A) series engines (273, 318, 340, 360) with wedge
design heads. My guess is that the bare blocks are very close in width,
because they can interchange some major components such as cranks. The early
heads were wider than the LA design, thus the ?wide block? label was
invented after the narrower LA design was introduced.

I was reading the description...thank god the car isn't a gay 6-cylinder as
the seller states...it's got a big block 318.  Personally, I think calling a
318 a "big block" is pretty gay, but what do I know (I never claimed to be
an expert on gay).

Ok, who is going to save this one and where do we think the bidding will
stop?
