Getting Ready for the Magnum Swap. (help?)

@prican_2000

The Magnum swap is the most cost effective swap to do. However, the amount of power you want/need/desire, LOL, may not be an easily obtainable amount (big power wise) with a LA or Magnum. This is where the people do the LS or HEMI swap for the leg up on power production on stock equipment.

Obtaining 800 - 1,000 hp from an LA or Magnum with there stock components isn’t a wise maneuver.
:lol:

I did a Magnum swap into my ‘79 Magnum. It just required (for me and my route) a carb intake and a carb, headers were Hooker super comps, a stock distributor and a ignition which was a MP chrome box. I had everything laying around except the intake. Which require little. Just a drill and tap of one spot.

Oh! Almost forgot, the Magnum block, being it doesn’t oil through the heads for the rocker gear can be a stumbling block for some. You can convert to pushrod oiling ez enough. And at that point, it could be worth considering a head upgrade if your going past Edelbrocks Magnum heads ability. W2-W5....
