well, if you insist on being priggish... he probably won't have to change the speedo cable.
the chances are that he's going to use a 904/727 or a variant therein, which *gasp* takes the same mechanical drive speedo cable and uses the same speedo drive as his specific 904 slant six transmission.
in fact, they used the same stuff even with some of the electronically controlled transmission that had mechanical speedometers.
swapping in a magnum engine doesn't have any bearing or effect on the speedometer cable, that is purely a function of the transmission.
