Hey Peter - My '65 W100 Townie came with a 318 "wideblock", but a previous owner swapped in a '80 360 - runs like a champ, very strong !!!
I don't think they made a 360 wideblock, but you might be able to make the first. The later LA-318 shared the same block with a 360 - bore, stroke, crank & probably a few other components make the difference. I also think the flywheel will be different. I would suggest the upgrade I have - a later model 360.
Others with more experience can help more.
Good luck !!!
Cheers, JB
