Hi mate.
Good luck with the search. Tip top ones can be hard to find.
Your lucky your on the mainland as here in N.Ireland they are like
hens teeth. I drive a 1983 360 GLS as a daily and it is a fantastic car.
If you are not in too much of a hurry,hold out for the best one you can find.
Cheers Mark.

well i did know there a bit of a rarety to find the turbo 360's but i am half tempted to get a naturaly asperated 360 and justdrop a 740 2.3 turbo into it me dad reckons it might squeeze in, dont know why but just like the idea of haveing something with a bit of umpth to it, which is no suprise why my next car (as im keeping my little 340 for a while just might end up being garaged and showed its self if she got enough life left in her) is idealy a c30 t5 hence why this is just in the pipe line lol

Turbo 360's weren't available in this country, and only a dealer fit kit in Europe. There are a few over here, that were made by doing what you are suggesting.
