        Doug,
        I'm not an expert on this, but I'll mention what I'm familiar
with. They
        changed the rocker design, the head design, went from
carburation to a TB
        and multi-port fuel injection. I don't know when they
introduced the
        computer. Someone else can chime in and give you more ammo.
Hope this
        helps you a little.

        P.S. I think they changed the cam also. Don't believe it was a
roller cam
        in pre-mags.

          I'm in the middle of an argument with a co-worker between
Dodge and
        Ford and their engines. He is a die hard Ford fan who says you
can't
        beat the technology in the new Ford Triton engines compared to
the old
        Ford engines. He claims the same for Chebbies. When I started
talking
        about how Dodge now has the Magnum engines, which are also
better than
        previous Dodge engines. Now I'm told by several people here that
all
        Dodge did was rename their old technology with the Magnum name.
        Considering I'm new to the Dodge line and am here for life (I
just Love
        my DAK), I want to be able to defend myself with more than just
saying "
        'cause it is better, that's why!" So, can someone please explain
to me
        the difference between the pre-Mag engines and today's Magnum?
