NO. The 318 will require special mounts or a V8 K member too.
Try really tuning the /6. a '71 should have a solid cam. Run the valves, do a full ignition tune-up and check out the carb. Change the filters. Also make sure the exhaust isn't plugged.
Empty out the interior and trunk of extra junk, get an alignment. Run the tires at 35 PSI.
Have you changed the ATF and rear lube?



I know about the differences in the K-members and motor mounts.
And, I stay on top of the tune up with the slant. I recently converted to a Pertronix ignition. All the filters are new, I ran the valves about a month ago.
There is nothing in the trunk. I've changed all the fluids within the past month as well.
Let's face it, brand new, the engine put out only 145 gross horsepower.
That means it probably nets about 115 to 120 at the rear wheels.
Given that the engine now has about 94k miles on it, it's probably down to 100 rwhp.
The car probably weighs over 3000 lbs.
That combination, along with 2.94 rear gears, just does not lend itself to fun driving.
And, at times, it gets downright scary when trying to keep up with the flow of traffic.
I figure I can pick up a good, complete, 318 for less than the price of just a Super Six set up and still get decent gas mileage.

Your life is not my fault.
My life is none of your business.
