5.2L Magnum Engine & Trans Set Up

thanks was just wondering. I thought it would make a nice cruiser combo with very good fuel mileage in my 74 Dart Sport. I wasn't looking for high HP combo, just something mellow for cruising and a little challenge putting MFI in an old Dart. Not now though, just want to get the Dart back on the road. I had my HP thrills with my 66 Charger and its 440 and my 39 Chrysler Coupe and its 383. Now in our older age we just wanted something different we could cruise around. Our now Dart Sport is just like the one the wife and I started with 40 years ago.

But I thought, whats the deal? did this magnum combo have a disease or something? Yeah the 5.2 318 is not as sexy as the 5.9. Heck I only wanted a couple hundred for everything just to get it out of my way.
