The 5.2/318 was used untill 2001. Then the HEMI took is place. It was used in trucks, full-sized vans and even in the Dakota.

"Chrysler actually made three basic versions of the 318"

The 318 was first produced by chrysler in 1957 in theA seriesengine family (polyspherical-head version)until 67', then the LA family from 67' to late 80's early 90's, finally the magnum family produced until 2001

the 360 wasn't around until 1971
