Gen 2 V8's would be Magnum motors.
Snippet from moparmusclemagazine:
Making the change to Magnum heads is a simple swap. All stock components can be used, however, Magnum engines oil the valvetrain through the pushrods as opposed to LA-style engines. Since all Magnum engines were equipped with factory hydraulic-roller camshafts, using the Magnum heads in conjunction with an LA block and a hydraulic flat tappet cam requires custom-length pushrods. Mopar performance sells a pushrod kit for this application (PN P5007477)

I realize 92 was the first year for the Magnums. The headers I'm looking at, the last year listed they fit is 91. I wondered if it had to do with a bolt pattern, or port pattern change. My wording for that was poor. Should be 91 vs 96 bolt pattern. I wasn't certain how far back the gen I's 318's bolt/port pattern went.
