not to mention the cost of the mods to make it work. All suggestions are
appreciated.<<

I had contemplated this mod, and almost went through with it. I know they
will fit, but there is some machining you have to do to get them to bolt
up. As far as I know, the heads bolt on fine, but there is some issue
with the intake manifold bolts or something. Like, they go in at a 90
degree angle on premags, and they go in at 45 degrees on magnums... I
don't know for sure, it's been a long time since I read it.... all I know
is, you have to get the intake machined...
here is a list of stuff you'll need for sure:
-Magnum Heads
-Valve covers to fit a magnum
-Magnum pushrods (you NEED these!!! premags have self oiling heads,
magnum heads are oiled via the pushrods)
-intake manifold machine work
-Magnum exhaust manifold & y-pipe

it's seems like a lot of stuff, but I hear Magnum heads make maaaaad
power on non-magnum engines
