Default 318 to 360 swap

I am currently considering taking out my 318 and putting in a 360. I understand the balancing and PCM issues, but I am wondering if I can still use the original exhaust manifolds and crossover pipe. I have tried several mods on the 318, but I still want more power. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
