well as yall no i blew my motor so i wanna do a cheap build. im gonna bore the motor and put new pistons in the motor. is there any thing else i have to do when i do this and what some stuff i should do while im in the motor this deep

 

Define "cheap" because rebuilding a motor is gunna cost a good bit of $$$$

 

Nothing cheap at all about breaking appart an engine, and if you put it back togeather with out doing any major overhaul, you would have wasted your time and it'd be nothing but a **** tease at that point

 

what you guys think about this?

Wow,what a loaded statement/question. Without a long drawn out explaination of how or what I would do, I think I will skip it. The words "cheap" and "rebuild" don't belong in the same sentence. If you want cheap, pull a junkyard engine and drop it in. That is probably the cheapest way to go. Call me a pesimist, or the fact I never half *** anything. but this sounds like a recipe for disaster.

and to the OP, that rebuild kit is for 1974-1978 LA Blocks. Not the Magnum. Not 100% sure if it makes a difference.

 

That kit won't work since it is for an LA motor. You must get a kit specific for the Magnum. Do not order the kit until you know what you are doing with the motor. The kits vary on how much you bore the motor, if the crank needs to get ground, if you need line bore, ect.

 

does any one no where to get a piston rebuild kit like the one above for this motor

 

id replace heads, camshaft, possibly crankshaft, have the entire motor torn apart and cleaned, new oil pump/screen, RR's, push rods, and that should be enough to get you going along with the bore, pistons etc.

 

Same place you found the last one.

I agree .. not such thing as a "cheap" rebuild...

bore it out.. all new pistons,connecting rods,cam shaft,rr,push rods, heads, and crankshaft.. allong with plugs, wires, rotor, dist cap, oil pump, timing chain, water pump, and all new gaskets ect...

like stated above.. get a cheap junk yard motor with low mileage and swap it in.. I've seen them as cheap a $850 with less than 50,000 miles
