They are all Magnums from 94-01. I think maybe even earlier then '94 in some of the first gen Rams.

Those heads for sale would work then? Is there a difference in the combustion chamber on a 5.2 and 5.9head? or are they both the same CC's???

5.2L = 318ci
5.9L = 360ci

I don't see how these heads could fit both, I think the person that listed them either A) doens't know theres a diffrence, or B) is just trying to pawn them off to somebody knowingly that they won't work.

A write up from wikipedia on the Magnum line.

Not that it helps, but here's VIN codes
