Hello Chewie:
Both engines are decent, but personally, I like a 318 better than any of them. I have found a 318, when properly setup has lots of Power, Low end torque, and good economy. I have ran several 318s and some 360's Yes, its true, a 360 has more power, but they seem to run quite a bit hotter than a 318, get alot worse gas milage, and they dont seem to last as long as a 318. I love those little 318's and I have found the 67-72 318 LA engines to be the best ones of all. They had alot more Power back then too. I would not worry about running a 318 in a 3/4 or even a 1 ton, as I have ran them in both and had great results from both. Buy that truck with the 318, and put it to the test. It loves a good challenge!
