About the Book

Learn to rebuild a Mopar LA-series small-block engine with this handy how-to guide.The Mopar LA-series engine is a small-block V-8 that powered various Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge vehicles from 1964 to 2003. This engine replaced the A-series engine ("LA" stands for "Light A") in most models, as the original A-series engine was phased out by 1968. Initially introduced with a displacement of 273 ci, the 318- and 340-ci (the performance version) engines arrived in 1968. 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 to further address those emissions issues. This book focuses entirely on the rebuilding of the LA-series engine (pre-Magnum) from 1964 to 1991. Veteran author and former Chrysler engineer Larry Shepard walks you through the process of a complete engine rebuild using step-by-step instruction 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. If you are restoring a Dart, Valiant, Duster, Barracuda, or Dodge truck or you simply want to know how to rebuild this engine, Shepard guides you every step of the way.
