Rebuild or replace?
What I would recommend is look for ant 318 car that runs good that has a shot body. That is what I do for guys that can't afford a motor. Complete Gasket kit paint and your good to go. There are some low mileage cars and trucks out there with good 318's and rusted beyond repair. I just did a 34k 318 runs like new. Total cost was around $500 with 4bbl intake ,carb , parts and paint . I also installed he trans. I put Valve seals in without removing the heads also. Should have taken the heads off but to late now. I pulled it from this 67 Barracuda. it was originally out of a 73 charger. Cost of the motor was free. it was left over from Todd's car we took the clip off of for his fast back. I alway see free motors on the web go get one. This is the same motor. The first thing I did was put it together and got it running good . Then removed it and painted everything.
