[FWDLK] Magnum Engine Name



The name Magnum on a MoPar engine almost always refers to the higher (est?)
preformance engine option. In the 1974 Dodge police booklet, the 440 was
the Magnum. It had several optional items in it that the stock 440s did not
have. The most important of which was a forged, not cast, crankshaft. Most
of the books will say that MoPar did not have forged cranks in 1974 cars,
but the cop cars did (so did heavy duty trucks).
