Chevrolet engines in Bristol Cars
First off, you must determine what make of engine is in your car, and any good mechanic can tell you what you have. As mentioned, the Chrysler Canada 313 cubic inch engine was standard, and we call that the small-block. It was used extensively in the U.S. as a 318 cubic inch engine in much of the Chrysler lines. A newer version of the engine, known as the LA series came out around 1967 in the states, and can be exchanged for earlier Chrysler versions. It is lighter, but not necessarily more powerful. These are very common engines, and you should have no trouble finding one for parts or a complete engine.
