    What was the definition of the Magnum name to a motor on a Cuda or Challenger in particular a 383?

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    I believe that Magnum was only for Dodge, no "Magnum's" in Cuda's..  The Plymouth name was Commando or Super Commando.
