stroking with a 360 crank is not very cost effective considering the cost of a full 360 would be cheaper and yield mor inches.this may not be true however if you are a machinist?stroker kits for the sbm are around 1300 with excellent rods,forged pistons ect and yield @ 390 inches with a 318.
it sounds like you are somewhat new to mopars.ill give you some great advice.build whatever motor you have with whatever parts you have.all mopar engines run great and that includes a 318.there are combinations of parts that are better,but there is no bad way to put one together.enjoy whatever stuff you have and dont fret alot over trying to find a certain set of heads or intake.let me know what you have,what you are trying to do, and the budget in mind and ill give you some ideas.

Henslee makes 402's out of them. Hotroddave40 is building one. He sonic checked 2 340's and a 67 318. Guess which one was thicker?

There has been a post on this on the Forabodiesonly.com site. Like Dog said. there is a cast piston that will drop in, and when I did a search, there was a set on Ebag for $130 with rings. It can be done cheap, but cheap is a relative thing. You will get what you pay for in terms of machine work. In any regard, it can be done.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Yeah here's one. Start a new thread instead of bringing back a thread that's been dead for two years. A 440 crank in a 400 block = 451, but the crank journals need to be turned down as well as the counter weights on the crank need trimming IIRC.
