I agree 318 was just as good as ford Windsor’s or SBC . But, 318 usually was 2 barrel and that carburetor was had to adjust cold starting. Had to bend rods to get choke crack setting. Ford had adjustment nut which could be find tuned, Chevy had to bend rods. Why 318s and other models with 2 barrel carburetor was hard starting and usually over choked till warmed up. Early ford’s and chevy’s had summer and winter settings up to around mid 80’s which most didn’t know about why they ran ruff sometimes.
