150 HP LA 318 - vs - 230 HP Magnum 318

The HP ratings will vary a lot through our the years for the 318. Research the issue.

Reguardless, grab the computer if you can. If your not running a computer, just straight engine muscle, a Magnum engine has a lot of good advantages over the LA. Though I'm not a big fan if the heads, they can do well for a street machine build.

Roller cam, sweeeeeeet! Swap it out and add rollers.
