5.2L and 5.9L are interchangeable. Magnum and LA are interchangeable.

The problem in this particular case is how the headers are run. LA motors use motor mounts at the front of the block and therefore the headers can run down the middle of the side of the block as the summit ones do. The Magnum engine uses middle motor mounts (LA bosses are on magnum block though) so the LA header has tubes trying to occupy the same area as the motor mount.
