it might work. you would most likely have to measure the length of the transmission to see if it is the same. if it is the same i do not see why it would not work. otherwise you might have to find the correct length drive shaft or have a drive shaft cut and welded for your need.

LA intake manifolds won't fit a magnum engine. you would have to get a new intake manifold to convert it to carb. you would also need a electric fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.
