The 360 is nice with higher gears but it do suck some gas. A 318 gives plenty enough hp and torque when driving those low gears.
A compromise between the two is best using the 318 block w/360 heads and intake which gives better breathing and exhaust because of the larger valves. Cylinder compression will come down because of the larger head chamber but you can shave them or use custom or dome top pistons but really,it will run good as is plus, run fine on low octane fuel.
