Best Years for the 318 LA?

I do like a 318, built a few over the years.

An easy to do drop in with a few mods is a Magnum 5.9. They start at around 280 HP dead stock, weigh about the same as a 318 +/- 20 pounds or so.

I stumbled upon a 360 complete that was already machined some time ago. It has flash rust in the cylinders. And it'll need to be gone though again. But it's all there. Along with a 727.
