I also read where you can get a stroker kit or turn your 318 into a 390 using a kit? Sounds a lot over my head and that I would need to take it to a shop. All of this I'm willing to do as I love the look of the car. Just not sure if I should just wait until another car pops up.

Also most people would just go ahead and stroke a 360 and make it a 408. the thing is it's almost cheaper to get a 360 and stroke it because they're more commonly done. You'll find it's almost more expensive to stroke a 318 because it's not so commonly done. Why Pay More For Less...
I bought a $1, 400 kit from Jegs and a 360 block from a machine shop for a hundred fifty bucks...
If they can't 100% confirm or 340 which is just a collector's piece mostly then the shell is still worth something. A lot of times that's the way to start it just kit a good brush free shell with as much together as possible and switch in what you want.
