As far as general info you can pretty much go to any mopar site and find good info. Like www.forabodiesonly.com has more info about 318's than you will know what to do with. If you have specific questions ask them here in this forum.

How much power are you trying to get out of the 318?

There are a couple of articles online that did 318 builds. Here are 2 of them. One with Magnum heads and the other with LA.

Magnum heads:

Well I would uses one of those 2 above as a guide. Those were supposed to be budget builds and they got a good amount of power out of them. I don't know what kind of idle they got out of them.

Personally I would go with the build with the LA heads. Also I would use a roller cam, the cost is a little more but I think worth it.

Save your $$$ find a 5.9 Magnum & enjoy over a 100 extra horse for about a grand or so installed by you & very dependable & not bad on gas as the 318 already is

92 Magnum exhaust manifolds are the closest to headers that you'll get that you can keep the bolts tight on & flow well
Mancini I've been buying from them for YEARS. First class act

I have Edelbrock Chrome Shorty Truck Headers {still need to install}, a Hypertech Flash Tuner, Harland Sharpe Roller 1.7:1 Rockers, an AEM TB swirl spacer & Air Box/4" Aluminum-Tube w/AEM Coned gauze filter, injector up grades, along w/Flowmaster Cat Back 3" Mandrel Delta Flow 50 Series, 32"x15.5"x16 Wild Country m/s tiers, just those minor changes really woke up the 318ci/5.2 Magnum, I live in the Sierras only have 3.54:1 gears/w auto & it was a little doggy going up the mountains, not any more , the biggest noticeable change was the 1.7:1 rockers & air box/spacer, I'm absolutely sure the Edelbrock Headers will help some too, let the engine breath even better... I've spent about $1000 total....
