318 complete combo suggestions...

I just posted a new thread about building a possible 318 or 360 in my 72 scamp. Torn right now but this sounds like nice recipe for what I am looking for as well. Not looking for a street screamer but a nice all around driver, with enough power to have bit of fun, but mainly to take the wife a kind out for ice cream on sundays and take to some local shows. Have a 318 in the car already so trying to decide if I am going to keep number matching or go to a 360.

Simple upgrades are easy and mostly eye candy of your flavor. Pick a 600 cfm carb you like and know how to work on. A Performer or LD4B (IIRC) is very good on the 318. Upgrade your ignition and recurve the distributor. If your not willing to spend on a new converter, your cam should stay under 218@050 & that kind of depends on what gear ratio and tire size you want to end up with.
