If you are replacing a Magnum, use P5007549. It is the only short block of
the bunch which is a direct bolt in. The others are set up as LA smallblock
replacements in that the mounting ears are positioned differently. E-mail
if you have questions. I'm going through this right now with a 408 buildup.
