Calling all 318 guys....318 vs 5.2 magnum, info needed please

Everything about the Magnum is a plus over the old 318. Better heads, valve cover sealing, cam, rollers, block. Everything that is the same as the 5.9 just smaller displacement.
360's have always been external balance and still get used a lot...
The 340 relied on high rpm's to do the job. You need lower rpm grunt to drive on the street.
Remember that the Magnum series engines were only used on trucks that needed low end torque. Torque is what moves your car not H.P.
A 5.9/360 is nothing more than a bored and stroked 318.
