This is the closest, "but not quite". Hint: Square bore carb. I'm surprised you guys haven't hit this.

Fairly close. .........Test run a 5.2 magnum on a stand
I have the magnum 5.2 out of the junked "White Whale II" which I'm going to install "as is" into the Dakota project. The object is to get it running, see where I'm at (I've never driven it except to nurse it home in low gear, low range on the snow last winter for about 1/2 mile) So I have no idea what other problems I face
I'm out of time.......I have this part time job, and I want to get it running, the spend time and get a better engine ready. Give me time to check out the brakes, front end, electrical, heater, "do I even want it" long term?"
Bought last winter with a rod knockin' 5.2:
The engine will be test run, Ed carb, Mopar electronic dist, and my "patent pending" HEI-in-a-box"
So this "adapter" I started last evening, and spend this morning "perfecting."
Reason for the notch on the driver's side is I originally thought I had clearance issues and would have to install the carb sitting backwards. We can't have THAT and it turns out with a minor work it does fit "normal"
Carb adapter.......Spread bore to squarebore, mostly for a spacer to clear the carb linkage......

That sure looks like an afb to me
That's fabrication right there, a drill and a couple files!

For flywheel I used my trusty old 340 wheel I've had since the early 70's and an engine plate from my Lakewood, also bought in early 70's.......I had to change the starter, the first one I picked had a bad drive
The age old concrete block........adding a tiny mist of safety to the Horrid Freight engine stand

Setting up the timing
STICK YOUR FINGER in the HOLE!!! and wrench it around, feel for compression
Then bring to TDC, because............
I wanted to verify the setup on the original Magnum distributor, which has a simple mark for no1 at the rotor
Then back it up 1/8 turn or so, and move back forward (CW) until the marks are where "you want timing to be".....this is an estimated 12--15 degrees BTDC
Wherever the rotor is pointing is no1 and you have to put the dist. body in cockeyed because of the magnum beer keg intake. The cap "keys" to the wire shown for no1 What I did not show, is tweak the dist. housing so the reluctor is lined up with the pickup center post and "tweak" a tiny bit advanced

Ready to run and RAN!!! After I got some gas to it and changed the bad starter IT FIRED RIGHT UP!!! I ran it a minute or two and it sounds great.
Now I'll pull the pan (Dakota is different) make sure the pickup is clean, and probably pull 2-3 mains and 3--4 rods and inspect bearings. This is a temporary engine, probably "through the winter" This week will be BUSY!!!! Getting it installed in the Dakota!!

Also a side note..........."Ma" just HAD to "screw us" one last time.......the magnum distributor clamp has a tab which I guess engages the dist housing to keep it in place in case the clamp loosens. A quick trip to the grinder fixed THAT
This tab interferes with my MP breakerless dist, "all fixed"

Great stuff, keep informed.

That notch on the dist hold down is there so you can't adjust the magnum dist but so far. Look at the housing on the magnum dist, you'll see the recess that the tab fits in. Absolutely no problem grinding it off for your purpose.
