Seems as if they just outsource it all now. Their crate engines were so hit or miss. Back when they had the 360/380hp they had some real issues. I figured they gave up on the engine biz. I helped a buddy install an LA 380hp crate and we couldn’t ever get oil pressure priming it. Pulled it out and let the dealer “ crack the seal” on the engine. The dealer popped the oil pan and there were no crank bearings! Only a front and rear bearing. Pretty sad. I forget who was contracted to build them in that time. Around 1996?
