HOWEVER can one of you genius' let me in on a way to run this motor with my auto trans? also i want my gauges to work properly its an 2001. Sean from hemifever said he will write me up a tune to run this motor with my stock PCM or whatever but i want to know if i can still use my auto trans and stock gauges if not what would u guys do. Thanks

 

That's an LA motor, it has no provisions for the crank sensor and a magnum manifold will not bolt to it.

 

i DO NOT think this is LA motor, correct me if im wrong but it says "small block A"

plus it says magnum motor... i just need to know if it will bolt up or if i have to find a new way to get my gauges to work and find a way to make the automatic transmission shift

 

The Chrysler "A" engines predate even the LA engines....... Also note, that is a flat-tappet hydraulic cam..... Not roller as in the magnums. The A engines had wedge-shaped combustion chambers..... That engine is not compatible with any of the electronics, or even the magnum engine mounts.

 

ok thank you "heyyou" is there a 408 motor compatible with my stock electronics? or where can i buy a already build 360/408 that will bolt right up? i found a few places online but none seem to have the right motor.

 

Has to me a small block "magnum" mpi,

No way around it you WILL have to tune it either with a Sct

 

There seem to be very few places online to get a fairly well built Magnum MPI engine, plenty of "Magnum" engines out there, but they're all the wrong kind.

There are a few places though, precisionengines is one of them.

 

Jegs and ebay have them as well, but, no pricing.... usually not a good sign.

 

The company he got this engine from has a short block Magnum engine so he would have to get heads from some where and reuse his intake or get an M1 or Air Gap.




Before you try to order any other engine how about you post a link up here for us and ASK if it is a LA or Magnum engine BEFORE you spend anymore money.

 

Thanks! so if i order the short block 408 and find heads and get the m1 or air gap intake it can work? i want to get a new motor in my truck within the next 2-3 weeks. thank you for your help
