LA Cam Swap In A Magnum?

Does he have to use the LA timing cover to have room for the longer snout?

He shouldn't. I measured a Magnum TC cover and an LA one years ago and I didn't get any difference in the depth and I didn't see anything that would interfere.

I've got a Magnum TC cover loose (and for sale here) so I could snap a picture if anyone was curious.

Edit - not that it matters since the OP isn't running a Magnum TC cover. :lol:
