They have potential but you can pretty much count on a ground-up rebuild to make modest power. The key is airflow...intake and heads wake the LA blocks up, but the aftermarket has been somewhat slow to respond and the parts that are out there...
Good view over. That sand paper trick is perfect. My father is amazing at sanding dings smooth on journals of a crankshaft saving money to have them cut and order different bearing size. I'm always like "🤞please Lord be with this crank" and my dad is chilled.

Thank you!
I have the magnum 318 and a magnum 360. Love them. But hard to get power out of I'm finding.
