Re: 318 .. 360 Engine ?
a 318 is cheaper to buy than a 360 and doesn't give up much displacement with the 4" stroker kit, 390 vs 408 with both at .030" over bore. also your sump, mounts etc are a direct swap with another 318 block whereas they're not with a 360 block.

i'd use tiger seal or similar to seal/glue the joins, that sticks anything to anything

Re: Aircon heater vent tube
it looks like the 'thin' one's been altered to fit to me. the 'fat' one looks unaltered for want of a better word. can't you alter it to match the other one?

Re: hudsen mufflers
can't you mount the new silencers back to front or are the baffles inside directional like flowmasters? if not it usually won't matter which way round they're fitted.
