RE: My 360 GLT project car
They never did a 2.4 petrol engine for the 240 as standard (as far as I know), so he's either feeding you BS, or its a custom job. I saw a 2.2 360 for sale a while back - guessed it was a bored out B200 or B21. Either way, it's not gonna make night and day difference.
Actually...was there a 240 diesel, and if so what was the size....2.4 does seem to ring a bell...?
I've heard of B230's being bored out to the 2.5-2.6 region, but how sucessful this is I don't know.
Not sure of the exchange rate, but $2500 seems like a lot for a B23FT, which would be an early 740TIC. Having said that, if it *is* a B23, it's the stronger of the engines.
My opinion is that a standard B230ET would be totally mental for road use in a 360, especially if the boost were pushed a little closer to the limits of the computer mapping. Obviously you can take it as far as you want with all the custom work, but 200BHP in a 360 is about as far as I'd want to take it as a daily drive (and not spending big bucks on sorting everything else!). Bearing in mind this is still gonna be well into scooby doo / mitsubishi evo territory (or if we're talking contemporaries, sierra cosworth, etc).
cheers
