So the original 318 for my 70 Sport Satellite was long gone . . . I built a 360 to live in it's place . . . although it looks like a "stock" 318 (with a 4bbl carb though - and air cleaner from 72 340 with big vac operated flap on right rear side) ... I drive my car, and yes it all works - a/c, and cruise control, etc. . . .

As was said, what are you wanting to do with your car ??? You want to go fast, then build whatever engine you want. You want to look stock/go fast, build small block stroker to look like 318. You want to enjoy your car, drive it all over the place, get decent gas mileage, leave the 318 and just drive and enjoy . . . it all comes down to what you want . . . you gotta build the car for you . . . .

Good Luck,

Cheers,

Mark
