Does anyone sell a jig or some standard setup to drill/tap out magnum heads to accept standard LA intake manifolds?

I don't know of anyone who sells a jig, but I know Hughes offers a service where they will do it for like $80.

Too bad the jig that was floating around got sucked into a black hole.
That was a sweet deal for those who needed it.

Yep, just like on a powerstroke forum. All the tools to pull and install injector cups... free for use, just pass it along until one a-hole decided they wanted to keep them.

Get real.
The builder of the jig got tired of refurbishing it and sold it to someone who wanted it. I don't see any A-holes in that situation.
Nothing's stopping anyone from building another, or even going into production on something similar.
It's not like it was made out of unobtanium!

Didn't mean to imply that the owner of the magnum jig was an a-hole. Someone "borrowed" the stuff from the other forum and it never reappeared. That was worded poorly by me.

Who made the original? Are there plans out there somewhere for building one?

That looks easy enough to make. use a standard LA head to make the jig with the holes lined up on the LA head. take the long alignment tubes and thread them into place with a 6" bolt, then weld up a brace around it, to the steel alignment tubes, then move the whole thing over to the Magnum head

if I had an LA head here, I'd be willing to give it a shot myself!

Wow - $522.00 for that thing - I'm sure I could make one for much cheaper than that. Thanks again for the info Moparts!
