Just swap the Magnum timing cover for an LA, this takes care of the water pump and alternator problem. The mechanical fuel pump can be used with a kit to install the eccentric on the Magnum cam. Some good info here: http://www.magnumswap.com/using-la-parts-on-a-magnum/

You will have to use the early style 5.9 magnum balancer to use LA pullies. The later balancer have pulley/balancer 1 piece. I was unable to source a new old style pulley on my last build. All of the new ones I found were the 1 piece design. Had to get one from the salvage yard. Pre-99 engines should have the bolt on pulley.

Not finding that number in my book. Which intake is that? MP black valve covers?
I don't know about putting LA E/manifolds on a Mag. head but I've seen Dakota manifolds on 340 heads in a 71 Cuda.

To answer your several questions. I am running a 5.2L Magnum which is physically similar. Fuel pump: You can get an eccentric that goes onto the nose of the cam shaft, I did not and went with electric Timing cover: LA cover bolts right on and does not leak Water pump: Same as above. Heads: I opted for Engine Quest heads with the LA angle drill for intake. Hughes also has a similar head Intake: I used a LD4B originally, now have Edelbrock Performance but only because the LD4's radiator hose and thermostat housing interfered with the A/C compressor (A Sanden conversion, the RV2 fit just fine) Flex plate: Using the original 904 plate. Exhaust manifold: Using the original LA. Since your are using a 360, I would look elsewhere for that solution. Only issue was the alternator had to be spaced out a bit as it was too close to a mounting boss on the heads. It was heating the diodes in the back of the alternator making them fail prematurely. Power steering strictly stock. The only thing I could not use from the LA was the oil pan which I borrowed from a newer 360 to bolt on. Craig

was mp version of a 340 intake modified to fit magnum heads. was hoping to use a stock appearing valve cover and appars there is no such thing. Not finding that number in my book. Which intake is that? MP black valve covers?

I am using the LA valve covers. Not as many bolts but it does bolt on. I have had only one leak, passenger side at the middle bolt. Cinched it down a little tighter, leak gone.

If you are using an automatic, then you use the stock 5.9 Mag flexplate and a neutral balance converter. Mags carry the imbalance on the flexplate, 360s have the imbalance on the converter. [5.2 Mags are internally balanced, as are all 318s.] If you will use the converter from behind a an LA 360, the imbalance weights must be removed, and the 5.9 Mag flexplate used. R. Hey Dog, for the record does that apply for both 904's and 727's. I would assume so but before I copy it I want to confirm.
