67 318 running temps in the summer

In 67 only a 273 was available in A bodies. You could not get a semi hemi in an A body

In 68 both 273LA AND 318LA were available.


67 casting dates does not mean it is a 67 318.

Under the front of the drivers side head there is a code stamped into the block

My bet is yours starts with a D = 68 model year

How to ID a Small Block Engine Block:

In this example the block was cast in 63 but the engine is for a V = 64 model year car. View attachment 1716292910
Its not the original motor. Someone swapped it in at some point. It was an original 273 car. Not sure what the 318 is out of
