If I'm understanding his question correctly he is wondering why the LA 360's were rated at 250 horse compared to rated to 230 of the Magnum maybe? If that's the question, the answer is pretty simple.. Carb vs Injection. A decently tuned carbed motor will make more horse than a conservative tuned...

You should eat up stock to mild 5.0's without much of a problem if you have decent gears and tune. Most of them in stock form struggled to get a 15.50 pass when they were new, 4.6's are as equally unimpressive. It takes ALOT of mods to get those cars into the 13's (I'm talking from 2004 and back).

yes

I would be willing to bet you will. Hell, the weight savings alone off the front end alone will help. Prepare to re adjust your torsion bars because it will sit up a little bit from the weight drop.

As far as the belt situation goes, you could always carry a short belt that bypasses A/C. Alot of the Dakota guys that race by one that eliminates both A/C and Power Steering for when they get to the track. One other thing to remember you will need to change the water pump also. The pulley...

Great Tip! I also have never heard of that happening. I will watch every time I pull one off now.

Also, no reason why you can't carb a magnum motor. I recommed the Crosswinds Air Gap intake (you can use it on either a Magnum or LA). If you run an electric fuel pump, you don't have to change timing cover and buy a fuel pump eccentric button for the end of the cam so that will save some...

450 is attainable with a 5.2L. I had a 98 Dakota 5 speed that put 422 to the ground. Mods were 52MM TB, Full Exhaust, M-1 Intake, KRC Perf. 210X Cam, 5angle valve job and 150 shot of nitrous.

PCM does control Automatics, and will throw codes if all of the sensors from transmission and rear end are missing. Just putting a PCM for a manual transmission will not keep all the codes away. You would need to send it in to someone to get a custom flash to turn off what you do not need. You...

I was going to suggest one of those also...408 Dartman and I compared one of those to an Edelbrock side by side. The casting were cleaner, and matched better than the Edelbrock. A real nice piece for the money, and can't beat the fact they will go on either a Magnum or an LA.

Could be a weak fuel pump. If you decide it could be the vac. advance, ditch that distributor and buy a lean burn distributor. That way you don't have to jack with that thing anymore... Another weird thing that I have run across (twice) is a sloppy or weak ignition switch can have symptoms like...

Indy makes a 500 cubic inch motor that puts out 800 horse with no power adders...Their "cheap" 500 inch motor makes 605 horse no power adders either. And doing a cost comparison of $/hp, they are not any more expensive the the GM stuff.

Yep, I'm sure you will either tear one up or drop it and it will land in an unknown location, only to be discovered years later..lol. The white or lithium grease is a GREAT idea too...It will help curb several extra minutes of frustration...

One other suggestion....Buy lots of Beer (Killian's Red) so your neighbor will come help...LOL

It can be done for sure...seen a 73 Dart with 318 magnum swap at the track running 13.2's all day long. The only mods were the Mopar Performance cam for a Magnum ( there is only one available from Mopar for the Magnum). Very mild sounding cam. There are plenty of choices available out there in...

There should be a casting number on your crank.... Hope this link helps.. http://kim_spure.tripod.com/A-Engine.htm#damper

The Eddy heads will have clearance problems with any of the stock manifolds. You will have to get headers.
