I dont now too much about fuel injection, but it might just be easier to fix up your 318. but if wiring isnt an issue, I would go with a 360 and put a good cam in it, some heads, manifold, trottlebody, headers, custom flashed computer..etc...

Oh, well, than I vote go for the 440.
I've thought about buying a second Dakota and making that my project truck.
The only thing thats stopping me is: no place to work, not many tools to work with, no second Dakota, and lack of funding

Headers, Mopar Performance Computer, in addition to the other ideas read here. As long as there is room on your Credit Card the list is endless. 360, 440, or 412 Stroker are all bad ***, 360 being the easiest to get and find parts for.
