George,
Go to the link below for ACURATE 318 Poly information. Someone has given you half the story. The 318A Poly was made in both Canada and the US. It is not a bigger block, just bigger heads, since it was derived from the Hemi. The same motor was installed in both cars and trucks until 1967, when the 318LA (wedge) came out.
Any Poly will bolt up to the big cast iron 18 bolt hole bell housing that fits 6 clyinders. However getting the correct flywheel is the trick. Go to the link and click on 'web forum' we are discussing flywheels right now and there are a lot of knowledgeable 'Poly heads' there to 'talk' to.
