Yea it will all go in there, but you need a way to bolt the lifter retaining spider plate thing down. And ya might have to do a lil grinding at the top of the lifter bores for the dog bones to be happy haha. A mag block would make it alot easier on ya though.

Not to mention that the LA block uses a completely different method to get oil to the top of the engine than the magnums.....
And the lifter bores are at a different angle.......

Yea with mag lifters an pushrods it will oil through the pushrods
The mag heads block off the oil holes on the block deck where the la heads get oil.

Nope lol. Magnum heads don't use them. Use mag lifters/amc and pushrods with the oil holes through them to get oil up top.
