What Engine Is This?

Slitting hairs again .
The question was what is this engine . I would presume he asked because it was built in 66 but 318s didn’t come out until the 1967 model year .
The answer is it’s a 318 built in 66 for 67 models.
Simple enough ….

Yep. It is a 67 318 with a casting date of 8-25-66, just not out of an A body.

Truck maybe ?

That is funny. It feels like you're intentionally baiting me since it is not "Slitting hairs", The term you are using is actually called Splitting hairs.

You seemed to miss that the first time around. Did I misinterpret that or are you now acting as if you understood it from the beginning?

I meant “Spitting hairs “. Lol
That was a fat finger .
I have better things to do than debate such a trivial topic .

The engine was produced in 1966 and it’s a 318 . End of story . Im sure the OP is disgusted by now .

We will have to find another dead horse to beat .

I’ve got this 318, just noticed the what looks like an 8.25.66 mfg date (see pic) Did Mopar build these in 66?View attachment 1716311393View attachment 1716311394

It's a 67' engine. August (8-66) would be a 67 motor.

Who cares? It's an LA 318. It's early enough though that it has a steel crank and the cool much lighter rods.
