Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. :)

I have no parts books of the appropriate vintage, but I *believe* the only Magnums that may have come with different valve springs MAY be the '98-'03 Dakota R/T. But if you manage to find one of those in the boneyard, I'd be grabbing the entire engine and not just the valve springs. Otherwise...

That's what probably started it, when Ford changed their designation from 302 to 5L. Heck, they even tried it in '66 with the Galaxie 7 litre, but that went over like a lead balloon at the time. But that was how the factory named it, so ya gotta give it a pass. But Mopar never offered a 5.6...

Thanks, same to you and yours. Sad part is that today's only the third day of winter... :BangHead:

Oh, yeah. I can tell right away how old the person who posted "liters" is... Extra demerits if you write "litres" (Okay, if you're one of our non-North American members, I'm good with that). Only exceptions are Magnums (just to distinguish them from LAs), Gen III hemis or the occasional 2.2/2.5...

x2 on the LA roller cam- and the 318 version, believe it or not, is a little hotter than the 360. Go figure. Plus you have the Magnum rocker ratio working in your favor. I run the LA318 roller cam in the 5.9 Magnum that I swapped into my '88 Dakota. No special valvetrain/spring requirements...

And this one always gets people in a tizzy, too: Road Runner or Roadrunner? (Yeah, I know which one it is).

Somebody oughta correct Chrysler about that- "Mopar"= Motor Parts. Guess I drive an Enpar.

"Posi"s...? Maybe I'll mutter something under my breath about putting a Chevy rear under a Mopar... but if they brought beer I let it pass. If they didn't, I tell them to not come back until they do- 'cause I can't listen to that **** when I'm sober. If it's in a post and I start seeing posi...

Watched this over the weekend, now it's stuck in my brain.

Do you need the pcv, the cap, or both? They have both the valve and cap here (both painted and chrome): Mega Parts USA - Reproduction, NOS and Used Mopar Muscle Car Parts
