Thought on a magnum build

aftermarket pistons come in a variety of compression heights-- and ring packs! so just because it's close to stock magnum, again, doesn't mean that it's correct.

anyway, the *one* of the things i'd be trying to take advantage of is the thinner ring pack on magnum pistons...

anyway, to circle back... if you're saving for a 5.9 stroker i'd be trying to put in the *bare* minimum. as RRR said, snap on a manifold, carb and some headers and just roll with the stock bottom end freshened up.

and re-think that 509 cam
Yea the previous guy mentioned the 509 cam, I think I may just go with Hughes whiplash cam for now, I wouldn't mind running stock components, but at the rate I'm able to save it'd be a few years lol so I wanna be able to enjoy it a bit, ill start to take apart the engine and get the measurements needed for the wrist pins. If I can get these pistons to work and with the whiplash cam I believe those two would work pretty nicely, and of course gotta check piston- valve clearence lol
