How to tell if it's a 5.2/318 = Look on the driver's side of the block for a casting number, should see a 318 there (unless they moved it on the Magnums)

How to tell if it's a magnum = does your intake manifold resemble a small beer keg on its side? Do you have 2 fuel rails and 8 injectors? If yes, then yes it's a magnum.
