Product Details
Features
- Finned aluminum covers add classic styling to Mopar LA-series valve covers
- Baffled design helps control oil splash and reduce blow-by
- Fits Chrysler "LA" V8: 273, 318, 340, 360 CID, 1964-1991

Description
These finned aluminum valve covers are built for Chrysler small block "LA" V8 engines — 4.5L/273, 5.2L/318, 5.6L/340, and 5.9L/360 CID — from 1964 to 1991. The baffled design helps control oil splash and reduce blow-by, while the finned top and polished finish give the valvetrain area a bright, show-quality look suited to street or show applications.
At 3-3/4" external / 3-3/8" internal height, verify clearance with your rocker arm and valvetrain setup before ordering, especially with the taller LA-series heads. The 1.25" breather/grommet hole should match your breather cap or PCV valve neck size. These covers are sold as a pair, with gasket, grommets, and mounting hardware not included — plan to source those separately.
Applications
Fits Chrysler small block "LA" V8 engines: 4.5L/273, 5.2L/318, 5.6L/340, and 5.9L/360 CID, 1964-1991. Common applications include Dodge Dart, Charger, Coronet, Plymouth Barracuda, Road Runner, Duster, Dodge Ram/D-Series trucks (pre-1992), and Chrysler Newport/New Yorker.
Installation
Perimeter-bolt mounting style. Gasket, grommets, and mounting hardware are not included. Verify rocker arm/valvetrain clearance at 3-3/4" external / 3-3/8" internal height — the taller LA-series heads need extra clearance checking — and confirm your breather cap or PCV valve neck size matches the 1.25" breather/grommet hole.

Q&A
What's the difference between this and the Magnum-series valve covers?
This kit fits Chrysler "LA" series V8 engines (273, 318, 340, 360 CID, 1964-1991). TSP's Magnum-series covers (SKU 53VC8561P) fit the later Magnum V8 (318, 360 CID, 1992-2003) instead — different height specs and a different engine generation, so confirm which series your engine belongs to before ordering.
Will these clear my LA-series heads?
Verify clearance against the 3-3/4" external / 3-3/8" internal height before ordering — LA-series heads run taller than some other small block designs, so this is worth checking against your specific valvetrain setup.
Do these come with a gasket or mounting hardware?
No — gasket, grommets, and mounting hardware are not included.
What size is the breather/grommet hole?
1.25". Confirm this matches your breather cap or PCV valve neck size.
What vehicles use this LA-series V8?
Dodge Dart, Charger, Coronet, Plymouth Barracuda, Road Runner, Duster, Dodge Ram/D-Series trucks (pre-1992), and Chrysler Newport/New Yorker.
Are these sold individually or as a pair?
Sold as a pair.
