Big horsepower 318 builds

Yes they did. So why did the cancel it? Was it such a good engine that Chrysler was not making any "after warranty" service money?

They could of easily made the Magnum stronger and added heads for 500 plus hp, but the hemi name just a better sales tool. The 5.7 hemi is basically a 318 with a 360 crank and hemi type heads. Rotating assembly ain’t that different from LA/Magnum.
