Nada - older LA motors use a 6 or 8 degree (can't remember which) mounting
hole in the heads. Their intakes line up with these holes. The newer magnum
heads have a completely vertical mounting location and only the MPI (or other
3 mentioned earlier) intakes will work with them. I understand some machining
will mate an older LA intake to a newer magnum head but not sure about the
other direction.

If you do find an older LA intake that has injector mounting bosses tho - let
me know...btw for the original poster... is your premag port injected, TB
injected or carbed?

Latr,

Shane
