Sadly the build cost is identical to a 360 (actually cheaper when you figure in piston choices!). You get a little more with a 360 of course but don't dismiss a 318. They can be a fun engine with the right bolt on's.
I'd never scrap one unless it was just junk. I have a soft spot for them. 318's have been reliable as a stone for me
600 carb,decent dual plane intake, headers and 340 spec cam will spin a tire with ease. Super fun a body setup!
