Will magnum pistons and rods fit LA engines in stock form without funky balance issues since the magnums are internal balance?

Funny...my 5.2 has no balance weights on the damper or flywheel...hmmm. And the crankshaft had the same part number as an older LA318...

But, the rods are different from LA to magnum...pretty sure the magnum rods are wider at the small end.

sorry..the 5.9 is externally balanced..the 5.2 were never externally balance due to the lighter pistons then the 5.9s,

Ah! Ok, good info-I knew there was something about one being wider than the other...just didn't know which way round.

So the magnum rods are lighter and weaker than LA rods or lighter and stronger? Sounds like if their lighter and stronger that would be a cheap upgrade for a mild build

Magnum rods are 750g sorry for the confusion. I just weighed them.

So THESE rods are 750g.
