Junkyard 5.9L Magnum + Edelbrock LA heads build

Were there even that many made though? And I don't think they kept it forged for very long into the 70s as the power went down.

So what rings should I look at? I'm guessing i'll have to file-fit them myself or do they come pre-gapped in different sizes? Is there a gap spec for factory Magnum pistons when adding light boost?

Also i'm guessing when I remove the crank to replace the bearings the rear main seal will be "disturbed" and i'll need to install a new one?

In response to the 400 forged crank they made them in to the late 70 at least.
I have one if your wanting one I'll sale it to you.
1978 400 crank question.

As for the rings you can get them pre gapped or file fit.
