They aren't. Errr, or "won't be" very shortly that is... Since
the 318 is going the way of the Dodo bird, soon it will only be the
360 and the 4.7. The similarities between the two might have
been part of the reason they decided to scrap the 318. ?
I wonder if the motor mounts on the 4.7 are the same as the
current 318/360? (If so, that would still allow someone to
do the swap...) If not, well... I'm glad I have one of
the Magnum Daks. I'll keep it, thanks! :-)
