Rumblefish, :toothy10: I am sorry,Yes I have a magnum in a truck that chucked a rod through the block.It came with another engine to replace it.I didn't ever think about using any of the parts from it,or if they would be worth the hassle of messing with.
SO yes I do have a magnum engine i could pull apart.I don't know if the heads were hurt when it blew up though.
If they are only worth half a point in compression.Is it worth the hassle to use them or should I just use my original heads and get new pistons?
Would I need to get new springs or could I just use the magnum springs that are on them now?
If I use them I would only need new push rods,lifters and maybe valve springs?If that was the case I could actually put this together cheaper than I thought.I could use the money i would spend on pistons to buy an intake.
Man I am going to have to write this all down to get it all straightened out.LOL!:read2:
