When you think you are looking at a 360 and the sec forgot to bring the head parts id book, try this. All 318's have squared corners on the lower outside outer exhaust ports and all 360's have a funny looking "Dog Leg" on the lower outide part of the outter ports.
From the driver's side look at the harmonic bal. If it is about an inch thick it is a 318. If it appears to be about a 1 1/2 inch thick, it is a 360.
NOTE: The AMC heads had this same " dog Leg " starting in 1970 on their V8's ( that's 2 yr's before the MoPar 360 ).
