Love that "Magnum Flathead"!!! Jason is correct in his listing of
differences - also the cylinder heads received quite an "upgrade" in the
metamorphasis - there are other differences, as in the valve train,
belt/accessory drive systems etc.etc. Don't think there were any "early"
magnum 360's (unless they called the 74 360 4bbl a "Magnum") that moniker
was reserved for the high performance engines, and until the Duster 360 of
74, the 360 was mostly considered a "haul the Newport around" type engine.
