   Just a small correction of Don's (no doubt hangover induced) ;-)
slip: Although the bodystyle changed in '91 (the "aero" style
headlights/grill as well as a change from 5 to 6 lug wheels), the '91
models still used premag engines. The V6 and 318 Magnum didn't make
their appearance until the '92 model. Just as an aside, (since the
360 wasn't offered in the Dakota during those years), in the Ram, the
360 powered trucks used a premag in the '92 model year, the 360 Magnum
didn't make its appearance until next year in the '93 model.
