318 head porting for the average joe

He's not the only one here who would rather have the 318. Count me in that camp as well.
The 360s I have had over the years are more likely to be sludged up when the valve covers come off,
have not seemed to lose any power in the cars that I have put 318s in where 360's came out, seemed to gain nothing when I have put 360s where 318s came out of, only that the 360s have been gas sucking pigs for no benefits in those situations.
76 Charger SE, 75 cordoba vehicles that I put 318s in place of 360s and. 78 D200 that I pulled the 318 from and went 360 back in. All stock motors, none had gear swaps, etc.
Stock vs stock I never saw any advantage to the 360 in any of those vehicles.
On the charger, it wasn't mine yet it was still my dad's car at the point of the engine swap, we used the distributor and intake/carb from its original 360 on the 318 that went in. That same 318 then went into the 75 cordoba after the charger got wrecked. I had driven both cars and that truck with both engines.
