Stock heads/rotating assembly, hot cam/vlave springs- how far can you go?

Not being able to drive this car after all I went through to get it back on the road would really hurt.
Oh I hear ya there!
I'm glad to hear that you're getting to drive that 1979 Magnum. It sounds like you're in a similar spot with that car.
Compared to a lot of the cars that we talk about in this forum, that's easily one of the rarer mopars of the last 50 years. Every time you take it out, someone will be seeing a Magnum for the first time. It's practically a public service! :D

Once you have a hot motor in there, it will be fun in a whole new way.
I agree. So far it has a stock ‘00, 5.9 long block, RPM intake, 600 AFB and headers spinning a 727 & 3.55’s. Nice cruiser. The pipe dream? Good heads and a moderate cam to compliment. It doesn’t need to be a powerful mill. I have an A body for that duty.

To bad this rare one doesn’t equal $$$$$!
