I thought magnum blocks don't have provisions for a mech fuel pump. Is that going to be a concern? I don't like electric fuel pumps...



Neither the magnum block, nor the LA block have provisions for a fuel pump.

The timing covers, otoh, for an LA do.

You can run an LA timing cover and LA snout cam (or adapter from Hughes) on a Magnum engine and have your mechanical fuel pump.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
