318 to 360 swap
That all depends on your level of skill as a mechanic.
It's not too difficult with some of the older cars as there is a lot of space to work with.
Just my opinion, maybe someone who has done this can help you.

I did the 318 to 360 swap a few years back in a '84 RamCharger.
I ran into a problem when I used the 318 flex plate and converter with the 360 motor.
They are different or were different. Internally balanced vs: externally balanced.
Dont know if this holds true on the newer motors or not but would beleive it does. And is something you might want to check out.

I live at sea level in California and a trip to the mountains or to Hot August Nights in Reno in a carbureted car, means that the car will run rich and totally lose power without carb adjustments to compensate for the thinner air.
The 318 Magnum to 360 Magnum should be a pretty basic swap.
