very mild 360 build.

Id add windage tray, zero deck pistons with valve releifs and a cam...I don't know why people would choose a 318 over that...:)

Availability... i looked for a couple of months for a 360 in my area.. nothing. also 318s are $100-400... 360s much more if you can find them... or they already have a 318 laying around.. could be tons of reasons.. i could swear we had talked bout this before :)
