Yep. I don't think that has any computer controls at all, and a mechanical fuel pump? Should bolt right in. Pay attention to balance though. The 318 is internal balance, 360 is external, and I believe they put the balance weights on the torque converter. So, maybe swap the engine and trans?

Welcome to DF!
