yes as long as they are magnum engines they will work. As far as how much I dont know but should be a good mod.

If it's LA to Magnum or vice versa, it will take a little modifying, but they will work as well.

If your talking Magnum motors it wouldnt make any difference at all since they are virtually identical.You would have to go to the Magnum R/T heads to see a gain. Probably wouldnt help on a stock engine. If your talking LA style engines then the 360 has larger ports and will flow more air but if you just stick them on a stock 318 any gain would be in the higher RPM's and the loss of low end torque would be bad.If the 318 is modified with bigger cam,more compression and better intake and carb then you will see significant gains.
