LA360 or Magnum?

any used engine is a gamble.
if the magnum pans out you can dress it like an LA for the day one look or leave it
as a modern looking build.
either engine can be a good choice...

I re contacted the guy with the Magnum so we'll see on that.
The "day one look" is long gone in this car, not so much on the outside but almost everywhere else.
