Would this be a good swap?

I have a 77' M-886 with the 318/727, Dana 60 rear(4.10) & Dana 44 front(Full time)I have just hit the 16K mark on the the vehicle<& everything is acting the way it should, currently it gets 13-15Mpg on the freeway at 65-70mph(28-3000rpm)It is set-up as a daily driver, (this story gets a bit long) but here it is, I have a good friend up in northern Michigan that also owns the same model truck, he has a lot of connections & access to over 35 75-79' dodge pickups in various states of repair(3)barns full of lots of parts), He got his hands on a proffesionly built 360 pushing around 280 hp with 5000 miles on it (came out of a 78 w-300) now he would like to make a direct trade for my engine, to have another low mileage 318 around that is stock military around for his truck,also we may end up trading front axles now that he has an 8lug dana 60 front w/4.10's which would give me the ability to have lock-out front, & eventually an overdrive behind the transfer case, it all sounds like a great trade , & I am very tempted(more power!) I'm not worried too much about originality, & after a coat of O.D. paint the motor would look issue, the question I have, does this sound like a good trade?
Thanks in advance, Todd
