need help to buy a 318 PreMagnum engine kit from Amazon

Ok this listing is totally confusing:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Chrysler%20318%20engine%20rebuild%20kit

lot of diff tittles and item codes with same parts being offered on descriptions.

I'm asking by email with seller about this and is not being really helpfull. The guy keeps asking about engine year ( which is not handy ). Engine is on a Cherokee Pickup from the 80s, but replaced engine from a JunkYard. All what I know is a premagnum engine... meaning with this, is a roller cam/lifters, but carburated.

HOWEVER we ( my friend who is the one which needs the kit, I'm just trying to help ) are not interesting on camshaft related parts, just the basic kit.

So, what cares the exact year of engine if I'm telling is a lates 318 but still premagnum engine... I don't think he is paying attention on this because he offered a 92-03 kit which AS FAR I KNOW is already a Magnum one!!!

so... if you don't know the exact year of the engine, which one would you buy ?

Needs to be get from Amazon because wiull be paid with a $300 Amazon Giftcard

I believe trucks did not get the magnums right a way, they got the old LA version. Not positive on this, but I think so.
