Which is most likely true. The 318 Poly L engine was used up to about 65 or 66
I
think, it was known as the wide block or "big small block" because even though
it
was considered small bore size it was a big engine physically. After 66 the 318
LA engine came out which was a smaller engine, but still bigger physically than
a
Ford 289. The trade off for the size was a very strong engine that would take a
lot upgrades without disintegrating.
There was one small v-8's in the darts, but most of the darts had the slant 6.
