thanks for taking time to still update this project.

the LA to mag head fitment of the alt/brackets along with the PS pump are what I need to see.




I put an LA front onto an Engine Quest Magnum casting head (CH318) that was drilled for an LA intake. To clear the alternator bracket, I had to grind off part of the mounting boss on the front of the head. Took about 30 minutes and the alternator and bracket cleared. Originally, I modified the bracket but the head still was too close to the alternator and the heat destroyed the alternator. Now there is a half inch gap and that is enough to let the alternator live. The Power steering pump went in with no issues at all.
Originally I was going to put the EQ heads on my original LA but wound up buying a 5.2L for the bottom end instead.
