Pick up a 318 or continue my search for a 360

Hello,

My current project has a tore down non-working (Was torn down 17-18 years ago and never put back together) 318. I was looking for a 360 to put in its place from recommendations here. However, I have found a supposed working 318 with a 904 transmission and converter for $350. The owner knows little about it other that it was slightly modified and was running when pulled from the vehicle. He was only able to say that it came from a performance shop and was removed in favor of a crate engine. So in short the history of the engine is unknown.
Should I keep looking for a 360 to build or pick up this 318 which in theory I can drop in the car and be one step closer to having the car run. $350.00 is not a lot, but time and effort right now seems to be a commodity.

Thanks

I find it hard to beloirve 360/5.9 are hard to find.
If you lived closer I have four
360's and one 5.9
I'd take $150.00 for a complete 360.
My best luck was I came across a 95 dodge 3500 van with a 5.9 and 46rh trans with Dana 70 rear with new tires on centerline wheel that I put on my m880.
Gonna paint the van with rustoleum,remove the axle for my m880 and use van for storage.$600.00 is all I paid.
Wheels with the new tires were worth that.
Also had a new battery that was dead but under warranty,guy was a jobber so I got a new$178.00 battery to,deals are out there.
5.9 is getting eq318b heads ported etc.to go in my 2000 durango.
Already have a auburn suregrip and 4.11 r&p to go in the 9.25"
Turbo grind can and turbo going in/on it latter.
