school me on a 5.9 magnum motor.

Biggest difference is shaft rockers on LA and pedestal style on magnum. Oil through pushrods on magnum and deck/head oiling on LA. Basically every part between the 2 series will interchange. You just have to be mindful of what you’re changing and the steps you need to take to make it work.

all id be doing is a basic rebuild. i have new LA oil pump and timing chain in the basement. have all the LA brackets and accessories on the car already. so if its just a matter of a rebuild and buying a magnum flexplate and intake it sounds like I'm good. oh and that cam snout extension to run a mechanical fuel pump. then i just have to hope the exhaust manifolds fit properly. didn't really want headers on the car but if i had to i guess I'd do it.
