Thoughts on 5.2 Magnum direction.

I hear the magnums are great platforms to build up, however the weak spot is the stock iron heads. Engine quest has new improved flow iron magnum heads called monster magnums that also have the cracking problem solved on their redesigned castings.

They can be had in one of 2 ways. drilled and tapped for an LA intaie, or drilled and tapped for a magnum style intake. If you end up needing a pair of these and plan on going carbed id recommend getting the ones drilled for an LA intake as theres more of those out there, in many different configurations cheaper than a magnum intake for a 4bbl carb. The cost between the EQ magnum intake drilled heads and EQ LA intake drilled heads is negligible.
