LA to LA, Magnum to Magnum everything will bolt on with no mods. However, running 318 heads and intake will choke up the 360, and kinda negate the swap...

I have run 318 heads on stock 360 short blocks not a high rev race motor,but does make a good torque monster for a work truck works great in an A-body also.. I like the closed chamber #302 heads from a 318 on the 360 with a LD4B intake,600 carb,headers,good 318 size cam...kinda a poor boy stroker if you will  you will need a 360 balanced B&M flywheel to run the N balance 318 torque converter behind the 360 or a weighted 360 TC for you tranz oil pans dont swap either,every thing else bolts up

What if you open the 318 heads for the bigger 1.88/1.62 valves though?

You would still have the small ports of the 318. You might as well gets some cheap 360 heads or the RHS heads if you are going to spend any money on stock 318/360 heads imo.

Keep in mind driver's side motor mount ears are slightly different between 318 and 360 also. Just a little tweaking should be needed to make it work. Good luck 
...or a small stack of flat washers....
Shumacher http://www.engine-swaps.com/ also sells a specific bracket for this swap.

i did the 1.88/1.60 valves in a 318 #302 head it helps on the breathing and keep port volosity up high with the swirl port closed chamberd head it will raise the CR up 1 point and to around 9.0 to 1 IIRC used the small summet cam and worked real well for me several times in the 4x4 and work trucks monster torque but not a high rev race engine in the a-body the torque way down low was fun to drive on the sreet torque rules on getting it to move on the same flip...I have run alot of 360 heads on a 318 with good results does lower the CR but makes up for it with the right came and more HP and higher rpms run what ya brung

So where would the washers go  ... between the mount and the front ear or the rear ear of the block??
