I am getting ready to put my new 5.9 magnum based 408 in my dart. I used the LA timing cover and I am not sure if I can use the magnum serpentine belt setup now or if I have to use the LA v belt setup
I’m running the la timing cover because I’m running a mechanical fuel pump for now. Yes I already have a v belt setup but my crank and water pump pulleys don’t line up on this engine like they did on the la 360 I pulled from the carDo you already have the parts for V belt or serpentine setup? Changing the timing cover and water pump is an easy thing to do since the engine is stripped to that point. There is nothing wrong with the V belt. They worked for decades on millions of cars. But serpentine is much nicer and simpler.

I’m putting the engine in the car Saturday. Then I can mount the ps pump and alternator and see what I need. I’ll post up some pics as soon as can. Thank youPost a pic of what you have, we can help you sort it out
