Howdy, just wanted to let you folks know about my new(to me) 1998 Dodge Durango. It's a reaL CREAMPUFF (ie...loaded...power everything,all original,no rust and a perfect interior). It;s got a 318(5.2) Magnum and an automatic trans. The Factory mags are way cool and in great shape. This truck joins my stable of other great Mopars(1972 Plymouth Duster,1978 Dodge Transvan) Does anyone know what in particular differentiates the Magnum V8 in my Durango from the LA 360;s (other than dissplacement) that I have in my other vehicles?...thanks...kingoftow

 

Better heads I believe as well as hyd, roller cam/lifters. Bolt down rockers vs rail type in the older engines.

 

Thanks for the come back 1xman1, my 318 Magnum has 154,000 miles on it but it is still tight(50lbs. of oil pressure and no knocks or smoking) If I keep the oil changed and the maintenance up I wouldn't be surprised to get at least 230,000 miles on it before a rebuild...

 

Sweet pic!
