I really doubt it had a 318 poly in it. 318 LA's did'nt come out till 67 which replace the 273. If it is a 318LA motor, someone put it in.

In 1965, the only V8 engine offered on the A bodies was the 273.  Poly 318s were only used in the B & C bodies.  Like the previous poster stated, if its a 318, it was transplanted in.

Doubtless, it was a 318 Poly!

The 65 Cuda came with only one available V-8 the 273. The 318 Poly was last produced in 66 but not
available in that car. 2 other engines, both 6 cylinders were also produced for that cuda, the 170 and
225 slant 6's

the second six for 65 was a 198, the 225 came later.
