I think the ultimate fun and reliable 318 is the one you have that was cheap 
That being said, I think my 318 was damn strong for pretty cheap. and a screamer now for just a little more money.
In high school it had a comp 265H with .465 lift and 265 duration with $50 headers I got from a member here and a stock 1971 thermoquad manifold (with a 600cfm QFT marine carb.-later a 450cfm) I semi ported with some hand filing. The engine itself with a trans was 200$. just that was able to outrun a classmates 370z. Got into some **** with that setup.
Now, It has speedmaster 170cc cylinder heads on it (non ported) and a Torker II I ported and stuck on it. It has an Isky .505/.292 on a 108lsa in it; revs out to 6700, probably more when I get stiffer valve springs. It also helps that it has flat tops and 9.08:1 all said and done.

So for 17 years, I ran a 318 6 pack in my 69 Fury ragtop.
Did a simple re-ring and bearings, had the original heads freshened up, double roller chain, HV oil pump, mopar performance repro 68 340 cam, mopar electronic ignition.
No idea what horse power or torque it made, but with a 2800 stall converter and 3.55 gears, that land yacht would pull 18-20 mpg if I kept my foot out of it and surprised a lot of 350 Chevys and 302/351 Fords.
I do know the front end would feel really light at 110mph. That thing had top end that never seemed to end.
