well, technically any engine dodge put in a truck is a "magnum". if you notice, even the hemi rams say "hemi magnum" on them.
but i think since the old LA engines were the first to be deemed "magnum" motors, they are thought of as the original, and still.... the greatest.
some people, me included, just dont like change and/or refuse to accept it. therefore, in my eyes, only the 3.9/5.2/5.9 and any engine derived from them (stroked, bored, or otherwise) are "magnum" engines.

and you third generation guys go back to your hole. lol

yeah the grand national, even the new GTR... don't matter, IMO V8's are better, sound better and can have more stuff done to it... don't get me wrong, there are plenty of V6's that have amaizing potential n stuff (GMC Typhoon/Syclone etc) but small/big block V8 are classic and have been tried and true to the point where they are still the most commonly used for high performance applications.
