Any reason why not?

I don't think that's right. IIRC the pin ends are narrower on a Magnum so the LA width pin end needs to be narrowed a little.
Pin end width on a magnum .933", big end .933". LA pin end 1.21", .933" big end. The problem might be the pin end of an LA rod may not fit a magnum piston (too wide). Wish I had one here to measure.
