easy way to tell.....poly engines a 90 degress, LA blocks aren't.

Seems you have a LA.

any decent 4 barrell manifold with a decent carb and a good set of headers will suffice....altho if you want to hot it up I can recommend a mopar purple performance cam.

I used an Edelbrock 600 and matching inlet on Angie's Dart. Hers is a 360, but obviously very similar to your 318.
It even started first time! I was amazed to be honest!! But it did say in the leaflet that it should.
If all else fails try ringing Summit Racing, they're very helpful and knowledgable.
