the OEM cams in Magnum engines dont have the boss for the fuel pump (its electric in the tank) its shorter, so if youre gonna use a Magnum engine in the older truck with a mechanical pump, you need to change the front cover/belt system to the LA-style. I know theres a company that makes a conversion kit to use the serpentine belt on the LA engines-maybe its Schumacher? And if y'all knew that already, ignore me, everyone else does
and BTW-in case y'all arent familiar with my Lightning Slayer '96 Ram in my sig/smiley, I built this 408 Magnum (487 HP at the crank) for it last year:
