Not a good mopar day

It’s an ALUMINUM block? OR
It’s an “LA” block?

I quoted Dan the man making a mention to his statement of a Magnum block, that’s all.
Good luck with the project. Will you document it here?

Oh, you caught that too, the al block?
If it's aluminum, I get wanting to repair, and it can be welded up and the head bolt holes redrilled and tapped.
