318 vs. 360 technical ?'s

I've got a few questions for those of you in the know
of these matters...

I'm considering swapping in a set of worked up 360
heads onto my 318...

1) What's the differences in combustion chamber sizes?
 I plan on having the heads milled slightly.

2) I cannot afford to loose any low-end torque,
therefore should I limit the head work to a polish job
(if that would help with a 5000 rpm shiftpoint) and a
3-angle valve job?

3) Since the heads will be off, I'm gonna swap out the
cam (may as well) what's a good MP cam spec that won't
kill my low-end? Depending on the cost of the head
work, I'm gonna consider some 1.7 rocker arms. Most
likely some roller rockers... any input here?
