WIKi says that you are at about 370ft above sea level.
If this engine is being built for street;
then with your ~8.6Scr, coupled with the OOTB Eddies; I see a lack of cylinder pressure problem developing rapidly with a later than stock closing intake valve.
By 60*Ica, ( say a 262/110 cam), your pressure might be down to 138psi. That ain't all that bad, being close to what your 318 was born with. However, because of that, your new engine will not feel much different below 3000, than the old one did. But; 3000rpm with say 3.23s, is ~25mph with an automatic. So she ain'ta goin' to wake up until that speed. Other gears will be different. Maybe you're Ok with that IDK.
If not Ok;
this will require a hi-stall TC to get the rpm up to where the power starts. And you'll probably want a higher number rear gear to squirt to 50/60 mph with, else what was the point of spending all that money.
The Eddies have the potential to run 185psi and more, which will really wake your engine up..That would require an Scr of 10.8 with the aforementioned Ica of 60*.
And that would require the pistons to be at or near the decks. I have run 185psi on 87E10. Others with alloy headed similar combos, are running also running pump gas.
At 10.8 with a 60* Ica, that is predicted tp make a Pressure/Volume ratio of 144, and that combo could easily pull the stock TC and gears, at least for a while, until you crave more.
I'm jus trying to help you be aware of what's coming, in case your budget is limited.
I run a zero-deck 367 SBM, and can attest to the 180+psi being dynomite! I'll never go back to 140s psi.
