Surprisingly similar builds making 400-409 hp just where you want your hp to peak 5400-5600 rpm or 5900-6200 rpm.
Geared right you would have a strong runner either way.

5.2l Magnum heads

Bonus 400 hp 318 build ported 302 heads

Are these not in the magazine build thread?
And why bring them up?

Not once you factor gearing into the equation.

What’s good for one can be good for another.
Sounds like you’re championing the 318/5.2 here.
To what end?

The create also has a slightly bigger cam, 1 point of cr is about 3-4% power increase so 12-16 hp. Torque to the ground is more important than at the crank, a 318 is gonna need about a 13% deeper gear than a 360 there's only a 15% difference between those torque peaks.

Torque to the ground is a car chassis issue, not the engine. So torque at the crank is important. Saying otherwise is insanity and stupid.

So, have you cleared out your in box yet?
I’ve got a few choice words for you and a few questions!
