Hypothetical 360 magnum build

Bobzilla said

It's all important because you mentioned the possibility of aftermarket aluminum heads. The Edelbrock LA heads and the Chinese copies like Speedmaster do not have enough material on the ends to bolt on the factory Magnum serpentine setup. And there is no material where a couple of the bolts would go, so can't even drill them to fit. You will definitely want to know that before considering new heads.

I was wondering about that. I thought that Edelbrock and speedmaster had a magnum based aluminum head on the market.besides the LA ones.
I know that the MP R/T heads are as common as hens teeth.
I'm actually still hoping that the set of NOS Mopar magnum heads that I saw a few months ago, show up on CL again. But exploring all options.
I know that if I can use those replacement LA flat top pistons that the compression would be higher than stock, and was "considering" a set of aluminum ones as I know that aluminum heads can support more CR without detonation than cast iron ones can.
