insurance group

Post by **5lab** » 28 Jul 2004 04:04 pm

interestingly - i've discovered that the 360 non-injection is the same insurance group in this country as the 340 1.7.. groups are as follows

340/340se/340 le (1.4) - group 6
other 1.4 340s - group 7
1.7 340s - group 8
360 gl/gle/gls - group 8
360 glt/gli - group 9

1.7 and B200 non-injection, two models that I want to test later...

I think of the 'factory' engines, the B200K suits the car the best - the B200E uses way more fuel for not much more power...shame they didn't use a better carb!

Of course there should have been a much hotter version - the B19E 360 was quite fast for its day, but they should have put a more powerful engine in as well as the B200E when they did the change-over. At least a B230E with a hot cam, preferably a B234 or a B230 turbo. I guess a 16v or turbo B200 would have done it.

cheers

Depends on the insurance company, my 345 was group 5, the 360 group 7
(mind you that was 7 years ago....)

nagh the group is universal. its rated by an indipendant body. might have changed over time thou. the actual cost is down to the insureer

Last time I looked 360s were group 7-8 (7 carb, 8 injection).

cheers
