Okaaaaayyyyy - I went to The Source (Allpar.com) and yes - they are LA
engines. Not just the V8's... the 3.9L V6 and the current Viper engine
are all from the LA family. I stand corrected in that I had said before
the LA name was not right for a 2001 360 engine. While they are ALL LA
engines technically... I will state that the general acceptance is that
if you talk about an LA engine around the DML - you are talking about a
"Pre-magger" engine built prior to the Magnum engine production.
Its the old Mac or PC deal... a Mac is a "Personal Computer" but when
someone says "PC" its generally taken to mean a WinTel box...
