No. The bore and stroke are different for one.
Actually, from an older thread "318 and 360 block are not the same
3.31x3.91 stroke/bore vs 3.58x4.00 stroke/bore.
318 internally balanced, 360 externally balanced.
Max stroke for a 318 is 390ci vs 360 with 426ci. (wont recommend it/408 better choice)
Both motors do share the same tb, intake manifold and heads. " Excerpt from RM_INDY's post.

That's funny because in the summer of '09 a friend of mine asked me to help him find a set of heads for his '96 318 (cracked) and we went to three different south Georgia pic 'n pulls before we could find a 318. Saw a good dozen 360s first...
