The Chrysler A engine is an OHV small-block V8 gasoline engine built by Chrysler from 1956 until 1967. It featured polyspherical combustion chambers , and was offered in displacements from 276.1 cu in (4.5 L) to 325.2 cu in (5.3 L), and in various high-power configurations.
The last automotive use of the Chrysler flathead straight-six was in 1968 (in the Dodge Power Wagon WM300, its last year of production, which used the 251 cu in variant [6]). It was replaced throughout Chrysler products by the much more efficient OHV Slant-6 released in 1960, which appeared in most Dodge trucks starting in 1961.
The "LA" and "A" production overlapped from 1964–1966 in the U.S. and through 1967 in export vehicles when the "A" 318 engine was phased out. [3] The basic design of the LA engine would go unchanged through the development of the "Magnum" upgrade (1992–1993), and continue into the 2000s with changes to enhance power and efficiency. [2]
The engine was an odd-fire V6, meaning that TDC for the cylinders was not evenly spaced around the engine but grouped in pairs. The engines in Jeeps featured a heavier flywheel than the Buick version to help dampen vibrations resulting from the engine's firing pattern. The engine was known at the time for its power and reliability.

Design work on AMC's first V8 engine began in 1954, yielding versions produced in three displacements between 250 cu in (4.1 L) and 327 cu in (5.4 L) from 1956 until 1966. American Motors' president, George W. Mason, had negotiated a verbal agreement with Packard that the two companies would supply parts for each other when practical. The ...

In 1968, the 273 was replaced by the 318 cu in (5.2 L) LA engine as the smallest V8 available, and the new 340 cu in (5.6 L) LA four-barrel was released. The 383 Super Commando engine was upgraded with the intake manifold, camshaft, and cylinder heads from the Road Runner and Super Bee , but the more restrictive exhaust manifolds specific to ...
