This is the article that got me started when I decided to get serious about reworking my 318:

I do not fully agree with everything they did because their only goal was to get 400+ hp from the engine and that meant completely ignoring <2000 rpm as a sacrifice. I was fortunate to get a set of excellent 340 heads with only ~3 months of run time on them since rebuild and the smaller chamber size means they do not need the kind of machining that the 360 heads would require for better compression. (All my machinist recommended was a new set of stem seals.)
You will find that Edelbrock has several intake manifolds that are identified as being compatible for a 318, provided you have 340 or 360 heads on top (larger ports).
I will probably go with the Lunati 60401 camshaft (0.454"/0.475" lift, 1000-5500rpm) instead because it does not require stronger springs than stock and provides lots of lift. You will probably find that anything opening the valves >0.480" mandates a new set of springs. Summit has the kit for $179, including lifters or $119 for just the camshaft.
Just the same, the article is a very good one because it specifically tries to keep the costs down. If you find 360 heads and their large chamber size, you may also want to swap the suggested KB167 pistons for KB399 because they are domed and could alleviate the costs of machining the heads and the nuisance of port matching. Beware the compression increase, however, so that it does not get too high.
One further point I will pass along from my veteran machinist is that he strongly recommends that the top piston ring and the two solid parts of the oil ring assembly have their installed gap increased from 0.016" to 0.020" to avoid butting together due to the high heat in a hypereutectic application.
Good luck!
