Mainly, I was thinking of ease of swap. The Magnum V8 will eliminate engine mount issues. Naturally, a good torque-generating cam will help. The Magnum heads will easily outflow pre-Magnum heads in stock form, so you're starting out with an advantage in Magnum heads. Since it's a 4x4, you don't need to go crazy with high HP mods. Be sure to get the 360 flywheel if a stick shift, flexplate/torque converter is automatic. MPI? You need the 360 PCM to run it properly.
