Did ma mopar make 360 non mag blocks post 93?

Thanks for all the replies guys, It would appear I have a 360 mag on my hands. The casting numbers by the driver head is 360T0R1147, and the Drivers side block is 53020006-360. It has the motor mount places for both styles as well. Do these things have different flywheel/clutch setups to run with say a 75 833 OD, and a bell housing for a 130 tooth flywheel? Also do the mags use a higher rate flow water pump? I frequently have encountered overheating problems, but far less after switching to the pump I put in last year (made for a LA). ANy reason to not run a magnum in my duster? it has been fairly reliable every since I've had it, other than running out of gas or peaking to 230 on the hottest of days(also before I had a fan shroud).

Also, there is a blockoff plate to use a mechanical fuel pump. I heard something about a snout extension was needed to use a stock LA 360 mech pump? what does one look like, and where do you get it?

Y'all are amazing for helping a fresh mopar fan on the right path

Magnum's are balanced a little different than a LA so to use manual trans the flywheel needs to be balanced for a magnum. I know that magnums were offered with manual trans in Ram's and Dakota's but I'm not a manual trans guru so I'm not sure if their flywheel will work with a 833. Maybe one of the other guys will know that. Did you swap to a LA style timing cover when you installed the LA water pump? You need to do that because the magnum water pump rotates counterclockwise and the magnum timing cover is designed for water flowing that way. I haven't had the front end of a magnum apart but have also heard that you need a extension for cam snout if you want to run a mechanical fuel pump. Hughes engines sells them I believe. Check their website. There's no reason not to run a magnum. Lots of guys run them successfully
