a $50-$100 magnum intake for a carb where can they be found? how do we get the fuel to the carb on the cheap with a magnum on this truck? these "little" things add up.




As do used heads, headgasket sets, new pushrods, AMC lifters, etc.

I can get a complete magnum engine for less than a set of heads and gasket set.

Here is one I did not even try hard to find-
