Best place to purchase 318 crate engine ?

-
I haven't come across a 318 crate engine, small block crate engines are generally 360s or strokers of that nature. Oreilly auto parts lists 9 different 5.2 liter long blocks and LA versions are pictured. They also list a 360 crate engine. I mean, if you work out the balancing differences with your torque converter/flywheel and balancer you can very easily run a 360 and tell everyone it's a 318 :lol:
 
I'd start looking at machine shops within an acceptable drive. If you can pick up it would save a ton.
 
I bought a 4.7 from Powertrain Engines about 7 years ago and haven't had any trouble out of it. I've put 70K miles on it. They offer a good warranty also. Going by the experience I've had from the 4.7, I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat.
