The Mopar LA-series engine is a small-block V-8 that powered various \u003cstrong\u003eChrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge \u003c\/strong\u003evehicles from 1964 to 1992. This engine replaced the A-series engine (“LA” stands for“Light A”) in most models, as the original A-series engine was phased out in 1967. Initially introduced with a displacement of \u003cstrong\u003e273ci, the 318- and 340-ci \u003c\/strong\u003e(the performance version) engines arrived in 1967 and 1968, respectively. Eventually, the 340-ci engine grew to 360 ci and was tamed down as emissions became more of a concern. In 1992, Chrysler released the Magnum version of the LA-series engine as a \u003cstrong\u003e318-ci 5.2L\u003c\/strong\u003e powerplant to further address those emissions issues. The \u003cstrong\u003e360-ci engine\u003c\/strong\u003e became a 5.9L Mag-num in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses exclusively on the rebuilding of the LA-series engine (pre-Magnum) from 1964 to 1992. Veteran author and former Chrysler engineer\u003cstrong\u003e Larry Shepard \u003c\/strong\u003ewalks you through the process of a complete engine rebuild using step-by-step instructions and more than 500 photos. The required tools and a thorough diagnosis to determine if the engine truly needs a rebuild are included. Disassembly, analysis, and inspection of which parts can be saved and which must be replaced, parts selection (OEM or aftermarket), machining, reassembly, and engine break-in are covered. All systems and parts are examined, including the block, cylinder heads, cams, valvetrain, rotating assembly, induction system, and exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are restoring a\u003cstrong\u003e Dart, Valiant, Duster, Barracuda, or Dodge truck\u003c\/strong\u003e, or you simply want to know how to rebuild this engine, Shepard guides you every step of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the muscle car wars of the 1960s, \u003cstrong\u003eHolley carburetors\u003c\/strong\u003e emerged as the carbs to have because of their easy-to-tune design, abundance of parts, and wide range of sizes. The legendary \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Pumper\u003c\/strong\u003e, the universal \u003cstrong\u003e600-cfm 1850 \u003c\/strong\u003emodels, the \u003cstrong\u003eDominator\u003c\/strong\u003e, and now the \u003cstrong\u003eAvenger\u003c\/strong\u003e have stood the test of time and are the leading carburetors in the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-performance engine\u003c\/strong\u003e market. To many enthusiasts, the operation, components, and rebuilding procedures remain a mystery. Yet, many carburetors need to be rebuilt and properly set up for a particular engine package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeteran engine building expert and automotive author \u003cstrong\u003eMike Mavrigian\u003c\/strong\u003e guides you through each important stage of the rebuilding process, so you have the best operating carburetor for a particular engine and application. In addition, he explains carb identification as well as idle, mid-range, and high-speed circuit operation, specialty tools, and available parts. You often need to replace gaskets, worn parts, and jets for the prevailing weather\/altitude conditions or a different engine setup. Mavrigian details how to select parts then disassemble, assemble, and calibrate all of the major Holley carburetors. In an \u003cstrong\u003eeasy-to-follow step-by-step\u003c\/strong\u003e format, he shows you each critical stage for cleaning sensitive components and installing parts, including idle screws, idle air jets, primary\/secondary main jets, accelerator pumps, emulsion tubes, and float bowls.
