Newbie has motor identification question

I just bought a 1966 Valiant. It has a small block motor with dual quads on a tunnel ram. Owner did not know what size the motor is. I looked at the casting under the starter area and it reads:

2536030 318 7
I am assuming it's a 318, because of the 318 in a row. But it also has 360 in a row, too.
Does anyone here know for sure?
Please help

the tunnel ram gave it away for me.tunnel rams for a poly 318 is very hard to find since i dont "think" they were made..low rise dual quad manifold are a bit easier since some were sold from the factory with dual quad

Thanks for the help.
I found the exact number on a website, and it appears it is a 318 LA that came out of a 1967 Imperial.

Anyway, here are a couple pix:
I just decided to put it up for sale, and my A12 clone, to hopefully get a BETTER car.
