Is this cylinder boreable in your opinion?

No, almost certain it will require a sleeve...
 
No offense intended but I don't see where a 318 is worth that kind of expense to rebuild. You can still find good running 318's pretty cheap. I've an '89 with just over 100,000 on it that runs perfect, uses no oil. I'd be hard pressed to get $300 for it still running in the car. I'd find one like that, put a timing chain in it, clean it up, paint it and go.
 
I was planning on rebuilding the 318, taking into consideration what type of work was needed.

Unless you need to have numbers matching for whatever reason, I would have to agree with peabodyracin that the cost of the rebuild would be much much greater than that a good/great running 318 and a lot fewer man hours involved.
 
The engine was seized right? Don't not break your head trying to repair that, use new sleeves.
Correct, seized.

This is my first endeavor into any type of rebuild. Thanks for the advice.

I was planning on putting a 318 back in there, but will now rethink my original plan for a 383. Thanks for the input.
