i though you would consider it for the street rod... it's a setup designed for them.... not he blower car.

got a tank from rockvalley, they put in an EFI pump in there.

i may consider it for the rod,,if the pricing was afforable,,just got off the phone with mega squirt,,making the factory magnum efi work it too costly,,, so i may just rebuild a 318 i have here,,,been thinking if i find a set of 360 type heads, have pistons made to be at 9.5 compression with the bigger valve heads,,bigger chambers and a stock 340 cam,,may be the ticket to having and affordable dependable motor,,,

Depending on the price of the Magnum engine you're looking at, throwing a carb and intake on that engine may be a simpler/cheaper/faster alternative to rebuilding an on-hand engine. You could sell some of the EFI stuff, too.

The Magnum engines have LOTS of benefits that may entice you - better heads for swirl and quench, roller cam, thinner piston rings for less friction, etc. More hp and better MPG do come hand-in-hand with a 5.2/5.9 Magnum (versus an LA).

yes im considering making an offer on the motor ,,and searching a carb intake,,dual plane ??? to have all the other bennys of the magnum,,,roller cam,,serpintine belt etc,,seems the easiet way to run the factory efi is a hot wire conversion ,,,searching the intake now

If it has all the right hook ups and signals/sensors, don't see why you couldn't do it. My fall back plan for my van if I can't get a Megasquirt to work satisfactorilly is to put on a Hydra Nemesis EMS, as my brother is a dealer for those and very familiar with tuning them.

Not sure what his status is - that post is 8 years old, and looking at his profile, that member hasn't posted in here in 3 years.

BTW, welcome to Moparts . . .

First of all any 318 or 360 TBI engine is not a Mag engine. Period. The 5.2 Magnum engines showed up in 1992, the 5.9 Mag engines a couple of years later.

Enginequest heads can be had with either LA or Mag intake faces.

The OP's question was to swap an "EFI Magnum". That seems to indicate the preference for fuel injection, so suggesting a carb is not answering the question.

I seem to remember that none of the Mag engines had advance built into the distributor. It's all done in the ECM.

The more complete package you swap into the older car, the better. The easiest way to do that is keep the computer and wiring harness with the engine, as I see it.
