From what I remember , you said it is a 360. The pics portrayed an LA engine. It would be rare for someone to put LA heads on a magnum engine but it is possible. Make sure you can add a mechanical pump before making the plans as magnum engines in their stock form do not have the provision for mechanical pumps.The original question was deleted because I can’t delete the thread.

I looked up the casting numbers and it is a 1977 360 LA. It has a cover over where the mechanical pump was removed. I've decided to hold off on making any changes until I do my homework on all the EFI options. Thanks.From what I remember , you said it is a 360. The pics portrayed an LA engine.

The way this reads, it sounds like you think all 360s are magnumsFrom what I remember , you said it is a 360. The pics portrayed an LA engine.

No I do not think that and I'm not sure how you get that out of my statement. Because he said he was a newbie, I thought he should know the difference even though a magnum block can be made to use a mechanical pump with the correct camshaft and an La timing cover.The way this reads, it sounds like you think all 360s are magnums
That can't be right, can it?
Now I see it. Ya Its a little out of context with the original post removed too.The way this reads, it sounds like you think all 360s are magnums
