Do you already have cylinder heads? If you want to pushrod oil either will be fine if you are oiling through the rockers the magnum block needs modified to do that(most of them).

Magnum block don't need oil galley mods and pre 96 blocks have shaft oil feed into the head like an LA block.

the e-58 blocks.. also found in Lil red express trucks.. are like early 71-73 340 blocks . except the main journal diameters are for the 360 crank. and they are finished to 4.00" bore but can bored much larger because they have a thicker cyl wall than standard 360 blocks
340s were high nickel cast iron. had 318/340 mains and finish to 4.04" bore.

so chrysler modified the casting molds in 1977ish for a few thousands LR trucks...ok
i believe the e58 just had double roller chains...windage tray and maybe a 340 camshaft...they certainly did not have the thicker bores like the early blocks...
but i dont know ...but i did stay at a motel 6 last night..

The e58 motors also had HD hydraulic rocker arms. I always come home very late. Motel 6 for me. "They leave the light on". Leaning towards a Magnum block for my next build, although I have had good lock with my E58 motors. La Quinta's for me - most have a night watchman that roams the parking lot.

I believe you would have to drill the block for oiling, not sure how easy that is. I don't believe the deck height is any different than a regular small block.
