I'm not sure about the headers, but the camshaft should be the same as any
other V8 Magnum. The only problem might be the emissions standards for the
newer truck. I have installed a Crane Cam purchased from Howell
Automotive. This is a .458 intake, .467 exhuast. The part number from
Crane is 704121, grind # Compucam 2030.
