318 question?

Yeah, that looks like an A (poly) block.
The A has much deeper pushrod reliefs in the block than the LA due to the poly's straighter pushrod angle.
A:

LA:

In addition, if it is an early block, the A may have an additional bolt hole/boss in the bellhousing pattern that could cause some starter interference issues when using a newer transmission. This bolt hole/boss needs to be trimmed off for starter clearance. Later poly As don't have it, though. Can't tell if your block has it, but this is where it would be:

Now the good news.
The poly A block will accept ALL the LA's components. Crank(with 273/318/340 mains)/rods/pistons, cam/lifters/pushrods, intermediate shaft, distributor, oil pump, pan, AND HEADS (although the reverse is not true, poly heads won't fit an LA block without major work). Deck height is the same.
And now the really good news.
With a sonic check just to be sure, poly A engines have been known to accept overbores of up to .130! No, that's not a typo. That's pushing 340 bore territory there. These things are not the LA "thinwall" type castings.
Man that is really great info Professor Fate! That is a crazy overbore! This one was bored 40 over but sat a few years before I got it! Was rebuilt and never used. Had to hone some years of crust out of it but it cleaned up easy and had new pistons and cam, and a steel crank! Re-ringing it though as they where a bit stuck and broke a couple pulling them off to clean up. Spent $200, don't know if that was a great deal but that will sure make it worth a whirl! Knowing I can put LA heads on it will make things easier! The guy I bought it from gave me a Weiand intake for it too! I will look to see if it has the extra bolt hole in the morning! Thanks again for the awesome info!
