& Is there a difference between the Magnum 5.2L engine and the 318 that
& was used prior to 1992? The Mopar Performance Parts catalog seems to
& treat them like two entirely different engines.

In '92 they went to a completely different head design.
They eliminated the rocker shafts, the horsepower went from about
180 to 230, and they stopped calling it the 318 and started calling
it the Magnum 5.2L.
