What engine would you build for a Ramcharger?

In the absence of a 5.9 Magnum I would go with the 5.2 Magnum over and LA 360.

To start with the Magnums have less internal drawers when making power.
They have better Pistons with low tention lighter rings.
They have better flowing heads with bigger valves and smaller combustion Chambers.
They of course are using a roller cam with the 5.2 having more lift than the 5.9.
A lighter rotating assembly.

With better valve springs and the heads drilled for the la intake and the ports cleaned up I believe the 5.2 is a better choice than the la 360. Jmhotihv
I thought about using that 5.9 magnum I have, but the cost involved in making it useable for the Ramcharger outweighs the benefits, I think. I have good useable LA 318 and 360, so that takes the magnum off the table for me.the thought of magnum headed LA is intriguing, but not worth the hassle or added cost for this truck.
