Got my junkyard magnum motor in the 11s!
I agree, I wouldn't pitch a good LA in favor of a magnum. I'll bet an LA 360 in good shape would run awesome with a set of those RHS heads and a good camshaft also.
For me it was the right choice, but I was starting from scratch with the original 2bbl 318. Well, I had a timing cover....
I've got about $2800 in my engine carb-to-pan (including gaskets, bolts and oil-LOL), and I think that's pretty good for an 11 second Mopar combo considering I started from zero.
With all these new cylinder heads on the market, its a really good time to be a small block Mopar guy.
