SB Road Racing/Nascar/Sprint Car/Reving BUDGET BUILD

In that case you can get a 5.2L Magnum and do the same mods, it'll make basically the same power but higher in the rev range. I do know the Magnum valvetrain (and hydraulic roller in general) is limited to about 6400 RPM. There were a lot more 5.2s than 5.9s made and the demand is much lower for them so it would be cheaper and easier to find one.

Thank You, this is what I was thinking and with the magnum style setup, I can use some cheby things like rockers.

This is my idea of either the LA or Magnum. I know that I can always have LA intakes drilled for magnum heads too. But the other benefit of the magnum is the roller cam and oil selection as well and not having to worry about break in as much
