That! ^^^^^^ is the way to do it. A direct engine swap probably has a bunch of PIA short comings and No Go issues. Swapping your engines parts into a short or long block is the way to go. Smart thinking @DionR

Besides front accessories and how they attach, the only thing I can think of, off the top of my head is the early block has the provision in the block to oil the LA heads, which is not used with the Magnum head. The balance of the engine should be the same. Attaching points are the same...

Late to the party…. I’ve spun LA rockers to 6800.

I don’t know where the concern is over running two of the same heads with one being used and one being brand new. You’ll be fine.

Nice 360 set up. 14-1? Woooooooooo

What heads on top? Compression ratio? What is the cams duration @.050? Thanks. Sounds like a fun set up.

I found the cam card within my phone pictured below. No overlap information provided on the card. I like to know this value myself as it’s something I’m used to dealing with on older cams and their information provided by the grinder. It’s useful for me. I’m sure somebody here could figure it...

Thanks for the measurements and link. I missed this by you. Glad you did the work, now I know! Good show!

Oh no! Run what you think or have for sure! I happen to have a NOS Crane Hyd I picked up here years ago and now is the time. The 5.9 is a stock long block. It has a Chink intake, 750 AFB, Summit Racing 1-5/8 headers into there X pipe and will use there turbo mufflers all @ 2-1/2 ending at the...

What makes you think I’m suggesting something different? (LMAO) I read the post, most importantly what’s below. I just thought I’d make a quick note that I’m also swapping in a (Hyd.) LA cam into a 5.9 Magnum and the correct pushrods are all that I needed to do. It’ll probably be the same for...

Doing it right now, Crane hydraulic into a 5.9 Magnum. Just use a correct length pushrod.

What did you get for a vacuum reading?

.536 divided by 1.5 = .357 lobe lift .357 X’s 1.6 = .571 lift This is a comp cams Hyd roller for an LA. This is also what is in my wife’s car. IIRC

Just be careful of your timing and know your going to use 93 octane. Your not going to be able to run a lot of advance at your compression ratio and that tiny cam. My build on the wife’s car is the same as yours with a Hyd roller cam @224@050. It’s an LA cam. The lift goes to .570-something...

Wow, that’s a **** ton of work and take time to blue print an engine. Though I’d say knowing every little thing is great.

Often is such the case. It’s not the intake by itself but the cumulative machining here there and everywhere. I had to take the same amount off of the wife’s intake and I did mine .070. This mainly comes from milling the deck. Also the cylinder heads. Head gasket thickness also has a play. These...

@Six Barrel Bill Your approaching the finish line with what I can only describe in one word because it fits and it is exactly what I see and no other word seems to be more fitting to describe what I see as this one singular word on your work. Outstanding! Finish that puppy up and drive the...

Whoa! Looking good there buddy! Looking good.

It’s more of the cylinder head not being able to flow more air with the higher lift than the cam itself. Also, with the cam, 273 does have a good point about the cam. Thanks don’t know how that 360/380 cam is ground. How aggressive are the lobes? Just because it is a kid lift cam doesn’t mean...

I’m not positive on this, but IIRC, the Hughes engines have a trick retainer they found to use on Magnum heads that allow that lift. Edit, went hunting for you between period 2/3 of the Stanley Cup. (Tampa is getting hammered.) The description at the BOTTOM of the page says .550 lift. Up top...

Gasoline or alcohol.

LMAO! Some of them get really expensive.

I’m just saying there availability is there. If you want to be exacting in something, chances are it’ll cost you more and no matter the make, you could end up paying a price.

What are you saying @Brooks James , that you can’t find a reasonably priced head gasket at Summit with there 227 different part numbers offerings?

You can get Magnum gaskets in a decent verity of thicknesses.

Sounds like the injectors are not fully closing and/or the 02 sensors are shot thinking it’s lean.

Black is the stock color for the Magnums. Yuk is the word that comes to mind for black engines.

Yes that would have sucked. But like I said above…..

**** happens, your not the only one to have done this little “Whopsie.”
