everything will go in (the cam/lifters) the deck height should be the same. but check your pushrod length when it gets to that point.. the 89 is still a LA block just with the roller lifter bosses (i want one of those blocks bad) I believe the deck height didn't change til 93 or whenever actual magnums came out.
I’m planning on using the heads from the 74 engine if I can if not then I might have to order a set any reccomendations
What's the casting number on the 89 heads? If they are closed chamber you may want to use those. Hardened seats as well. I know that the 74 heads are open chamber and non hardened seats.
I would also do everything in my power to use the roller cam valve train. It's a big plus in many ways.
No, that's the block. He asked for the casting numbers on the cylinder heads. It's on the bottom of the head on one of the runners.
and look for cast numbers not stamped in numbers.
Can you please explain how is it a plus? Wouldn’t I have to replace cam lifters and everything to fit a roller cam
Have the lifters that came out of 89 block but that’s about it would need to buy cam push rods,etc
Isn't you newer engine a roller block? How complete is it? Does it still have the stock roller cam and valve train?
Yes and I have lifters and a stock cam shaft which if I went with the hydraulic roller set up I’d probably change to something similar I had on my flat tappet set up
That's what I would do. You can get your factory cam reground. I wouldn't hesitate using the roller block and valve train.
Not the right number. The casting number is cast in the head and not stamped. The 360 should end in 308.
Yea I was told they were J heads, quick question if I want to use the hydraulic roller set up would I have to get new heads
