Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #1 Posted July 27 So today is the day I start the Magnun-Magnum swap. Bought a non-running/condition unknown 414 with a Mag14. After quite a few hours and some parts I finally have it running good and it seems to be trusty. Carb has been off and on and cleaned and cleaned…3amp charging system was “dead” so swapped in the HD 15amp setup. New head gasket and ignition etc…you guys know the drill. I bought this as a replacement engine for the Magnum 10 in my GT-1600 plow rig. The 10 is still good but I was thinking in a few years it might be time for an upgrade/repower…and I happened to stumble upon the 414 a few years too soon ! Pretty straightforward swap, shouldn’t require any wiring or fabrication or drilling of the frame 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #4 Posted July 27 Done!! All installed and running! A 16 Magnum was my dream motor, would have matched the hood decals . But this 14 will be just fine. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #5 Posted July 27 Probably going to paint the 4 wheels before the weights go back on. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
