I think we are referring to the differences between
the LA318-1 and the LA318-3. The -3 is the heavy-duty
truck engine. More likely found in bigger trucks (300 and up). It has
the steel crank, valve rotators, heavier valve springs,
more oil pressure, roller timing chain, 1 extra quart of
oil capacity, lower compression, bigger, stellited valves
different rod and main bearing material and probably
some other stuff.
This came from the late 60's Dodge Truck service manual.
