Small Block Magnum Heads
« on: February 12, 2006 - 09:28:47 AM »
I was given two 5.2 Magnum shortblocks and intend to build one up for my son's Duster. Is there a particular head casting that is better than another for these engines? Is there even more than one casting available? I want to build a good street motor with some huevos so he can take it to the strip sometimes and have some fun with it, nothing too radical! Any input is appreciated, as I've never dealt with the newer Magnum series engines.

The 318 and 360 are the same ,I replaced the 318 in my 99 dodge ram with a 360 and the casting #on the head was the same on both .
