Keep representing the 64 Polaras in Omaha Rich! Someone has to! Thought you were 
considering doing that 440...

I don't think so, but from what I remember, the crankshafts and the oil pans 
still interchange between the two blocks.  I just read this not too long ago 
when someone wanted to build a poly 318.

Its the headbolts being in a different pattern on the two blocks which prevents 
you from using the finest possible modern heads ported to the max with a wild 
cam and high compression and a great induction system that makes a giant HP Poly 
hard to do.  Get a 340 or a 360 block from a car or truck of most any year and 
build that up.

Some guys stuck with the Poly and have made suprising HP with their ingenuity 
more than anything.  They just matched all the parts together and wind up with 
one sweet 318 and they have come up with a way to stroke those old engines too.

It shouldn't take too much research on the web to find some info on the Poly.  
You just have to search it 12 different ways or you can get lucky quick.

My day had a few cars with the 318 poly.  They were hard to kill.

I don't think Hughes makes poly 318 parts, do they?

Thanks,
