Arugh... no u don't!!! Run whatever cam u want! Bolt the fuel pump cam on as usual.. bust out the spark box and weld a small/medium tack on the bolt/washer/fuel pump cam.. also the hurricane/crosswind intake with the double bolt pattern for LA/Magnum is much better than the edelbrock one... you are limited on intakes if u wanna run Magnum style heads... but u can use a magnum block, old school LA heads of any type then use hollow chevy style oil thru pushrods with Magnum roller cam setup.. also if u just wanna slap a 93+ LA in ur pickup/car... swap the timing cover, buy.the cheap knockoff intake they work awesome. Buy ya a eBay/Amazon HEI distributor they also work great with only 1 wire to mess with and the stock roller cam works awesome at 6 deg base timing even with carb. Happy motoring! Mopar or no Car!!!
Just a note, the chinese knock off intake will not allow room for the A/C compressor. If you want a carb and A/C on a magnum engine you will have to use the Edelbrock intake.
Flex plates from second gen Dodge Dakotas and and rams 1996 and up are balanced differently then 1995 and older. So the flex plate and torque converter don't have the one single off set bolt. All 4 bolts sit the same eliminating the need to drill out the one hole on the older flex plate.
Love all the 360s , just built a 327 . These Gms and Ford's are like toys compared to the Chrysler La engines. Great video and very informative. Unfortunately we didn't get the magnum in Australia.
I have an Australian friend who lives in the states he brought his 75 Chrysler to the state’s he’s going to put in a magnum in it and a manual trans. He loves to bang gears
Great vid . I been running a 87 LA 318 5spd in my Dakota I built in 2013. Engine is getting tired so I have a 94 magnum 360 4 speed automatic I wanna swap. So it’s nice to have these vids to know differences . Ty
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I love any help you can give me.
@Jakob Tucker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I’ve only run the magnum, have had good luck with it, but, you are very limited on intake choices unless you drill and tap the magnum heads for a la bolt pattern then you have a lot more choices.
i have a 360 LA and a 727, im swaping the LA 360 for a magnum 360, the magnum flexplate is weighted and the tourqe converter is also has a single weight on it do i need to remove it ???
I’m confused. The title says you’re converting from magnum to LA? Looks like the reverse. While the LA crank will bolt into a magnum they are not balanced the same. Magnum pistons are much lighter.
It’s a magnum block, crank, and pistons. The la part changing over to a cam that I can use a mechanical fuel pump and front cover to run a carb. Some f what is shown are also differences between magnum and la so those that don’t know can see the differences.
If you google dodge magnum swap van ps bracket you’ll get a information. There are some good pics I just pulled up about the bracket, belts, and tensioner discussion that should help you out.
you need to get rid of the magnum intake and buy a carb intake, need a different distributor that will for with a MSD 6AL for example. Pertronix has an ignition box and distributor as well. Make sure the fuel pressure is only 6-7 psi, Fuel injection fuel pressure is in the 50 range.
They an option as well, you can use Oregon cams, they can regrind or new grind. Be careful we regrind as the base circle could change and affect pushrod length, comp cams can, lunati can, Elgin I believe can as well. Just need to provide details of your build if you want a custom grind.
Hi love the channel ❓...can I use magnum heads on my 1986 360??? I'm looking for a better breathing head closer cc but I'm poor ...I can find magnum heads 100 bucks what would be involved in the install if at all possible?? Thanks so much in advance
@@ShopDogFabrication thanks but I'm poor wish I could afford aluminum heads but not a possibility...my 360 is healthy I bought it after it sat 11 years and it's taken this long for me to get it road worthy it's just cyl number 7 like to puff just a tad once warmed up so I'm thinking all that sitting hardened the valve seals but thanks so much for even responding to me I cirtainly appreciate it
Trick Flow does not make heads for a Magnum. They make heads for LA and need to run oil through pushrods just like running any other LA head on a Magnum
Remember it’s the exact same crank, it’s externally balanced, lighter pistons and rods in the magnum, I’m using an la balancer. This flex plate has worked great for 2 years and 0 balance issues. That’s what everyone has been using on the magnum that I know of. There is a different one used for 318 that are internal balanced or 408 strokers that switch from external to internal balance.
This video helps alot with magnum swap with carb and mechanical fuel pump! Thank You!
Great channel, good info, subscribed! Hughes Engines has the cam snout extensions also, $26.

@Jakob Tucker It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Tyler Micah Happy to help xD
Great Job!
Thanks, glad you liked the video. I also appreciate you taking a minute to leave a comment.
Nice vid man, thank you
Nice!
Great vid. The age old question LA? or Magnum? I think both are great engines.
I’ve only run the magnum, have had good luck with it, but, you are very limited on intake choices unless you drill and tap the magnum heads for a la bolt pattern then you have a lot more choices.
love to work you on a project. thats awesome
awesome info!..just subcribed!
Thanks!!
Great 👍
Thank you 👍p
Nice vid. What kind of rocker arms are you using?
Comp cams, they are discontinued.
i have a 360 LA and a 727, im swaping the LA 360 for a magnum 360, the magnum flexplate is weighted and the tourqe converter is also has a single weight on it do i need to remove it ???
I’m confused. The title says you’re converting from magnum to LA? Looks like the reverse. While the LA crank will bolt into a magnum they are not balanced the same. Magnum pistons are much lighter.
It’s a magnum block, crank, and pistons. The la part changing over to a cam that I can use a mechanical fuel pump and front cover to run a carb. Some f what is shown are also differences between magnum and la so those that don’t know can see the differences.
Thanks for clarification.
Longer snout cam is also drilled for top end oiling. But your block is not drilled for it. What if you wanted to run rocker shaft heads?
They are edelbrock magnum heads with hardened push rods that oil the rockers. I’m not running la heads.
I swapped I put the magnum 360 into my 69 dart and the power steering resivor hits the battery do yo have any answers
If you google dodge magnum swap van ps bracket you’ll get a information. There are some good pics I just pulled up about the bracket, belts, and tensioner discussion that should help you out.
Pulley and harmonic was still to pieces until 98
How do I eliminate the computer on a 1999 5.9 carb conversion?
you need to get rid of the magnum intake and buy a carb intake, need a different distributor that will for with a MSD 6AL for example. Pertronix has an ignition box and distributor as well. Make sure the fuel pressure is only 6-7 psi, Fuel injection fuel pressure is in the 50 range.
Use the magnum gaskets for better fit
i think they went to the one piece crank pulley in 98 or 99.
I have a 99 block as well and it’s a 2 pc
DIDNT THE MAGNUM HAVE A CPS? WHAT DID U DO FOR THAT?
I only used the block, crank, pistons, and roller rockers. Everything was la based. Swap la distributor, timing cover, fuel pump, and so on.
Run engine for 20 minutes let cool 1 hour exhaust bolts usually come right out
If it was in the car and running I’d agree. Thanks for sharing the tip. Appreciate it.
Hughes will custom grind a roller cam with the la snout.
They an option as well, you can use Oregon cams, they can regrind or new grind. Be careful we regrind as the base circle could change and affect pushrod length, comp cams can, lunati can, Elgin I believe can as well. Just need to provide details of your build if you want a custom grind.

A lot, can be done might be cheaper to buy an aluminum set. Different lifters, pushrods, rocker set ups. Ive not f
It. I did a little reading on it last night. If you google it there is info out there
@@ShopDogFabrication thanks but I'm poor wish I could afford aluminum heads but not a possibility...my 360 is healthy I bought it after it sat 11 years and it's taken this long for me to get it road worthy it's just cyl number 7 like to puff just a tad once warmed up so I'm thinking all that sitting hardened the valve seals but thanks so much for even responding to me I cirtainly appreciate it
318 heads,& magnum ex manifolds, cheap & good. just need the 2.02/ 1.8 valves fitted.
@@Alexgomez411 question.. what is the motor going in? do you have the kegger intake ?
Trick Flow does not make heads for a Magnum. They make heads for LA and need to run oil through pushrods just like running any other LA head on a Magnum
Yes they do, tfs-61417801-c00 they even tell you for magnum engine what rocker you need to use.
You should rewrite your title it says magnum to la swap but its a la to magnum swap
Dude, it's E-del Brock! not El-De Brock...
B&M 10239 flexplate is for a LA engine not a Magnum engine...different factory balancing...
Remember it’s the exact same crank, it’s externally balanced, lighter pistons and rods in the magnum, I’m using an la balancer. This flex plate has worked great for 2 years and 0 balance issues.
