If you cant find a late 80's early 90's LA block you may stumble across an early magnum, just look for the oil hole, if it is there you can use LA heads. 1971 Factory Appearing Duster 340 11.000 @ 122 mph

Thanks for the help Look to see if there is a hole in the deck for oil to the heads...and that hole goes down to cam bearings....cam bearings 2 and 4 supply oil to the heads.

Also, the magnum blocks have a lower deck height. Not by much, but it's enough that if you're shooting for a certain deck clearance, it might require cutting the pistons.

Thanks If you are thinking mag block/LA heads you can T from the oil sender port at the top rear of the block & T & go to the rear of each head & drill in horizontle to the rear pedestal then angle drill down from the top down in the pedestal bolt hole starting several threads down till the passages meet. .080" might be a good start and you can then drill/tap all 5 vertical crank to cam passages & plug them with allenhead setscrews drilled with a 1/16" feed hole which is plenty of lube for cam journals and more than that is a waste of oil volume/psi and OE alot of oil is wasted there especially the one(s) that feed the heads on a LA/B/RB block/heads live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
