Message:
I'm trying to get some 1/4 mile times for stock or lightly modded 318's to decide if I want to upgrade from my V-6.

Is your truck RC or CC....auto or stick?
Since you havge a 92...im guessing, your truck is lighter than gen 3s. Most likely with a 5spd and RC you could run a low to mid 15 if you know how to drive it good. Ive heard gen 2s running high 14s stock in perfect weather, traction, and elevation!! That also being the RC 5spd setup. If its an auto, add 4 to 5 tenths. Get a shift kit and a Mopar SBEC to accomodate that.

If your gonna do a V8 swap, might as well start with a 360. I have the 318 now, but I think Im gonna go for a built 360 from www.KRCperformance.com

I just thought it would be easier with a 318 since was a factory option for my year. Does anyone know if it is more difficult to swap a 360. If so is it worth the trouble?

KRC has a 430HP 360 that I have on my wish list. From what I hear its an easy swap. Just get a new computer and you're set.

Keep in mind that usually the 318 is internally balanced and the 360 is externally (flywheel weights) so you usually have to change the flywheel and/or torque converter to make the 360 work. If you're upgrading you have to change the flywheel either way because the crank sensor uses it.
