Is building a stroked 318 better than a stroked 340/360?

Rumblefishy360, I deal with scrap yards in the hood where they destroy motor homes and salvage vehicles and that’s where I get my core engines. The cranks in anything that is cast is usually bad. Because these are crack shacks and rarely in good condition (unless there was a lab inside) are really in decent condition. The majority of engines I get it that were cooked, ran hot, rat piss in the cylinders, milkshake style lubricant and knocking louder than preacher at a sun era door, too many variables to deal with. Also, storing engines is an issuer for me so I have a spot at the yards where they pile the cores I’m interested in. When people come to buy cores, they meet me there, pick out what they need and load it up. I make money and they yard gets more money than scrap costs. Like insaid, I’m just trying to decide if it’s justified to use a 318 since I have a couple 1971 and 1973 date engines here.
All is good. I’m in no rush to build, so if a decent 360 block shows up, I could use it. But please let me know, if you were building a 318
And stuffing a little hairdryer on it, what would you do to make it fun.
