360turbo gone to God

Post by smithy » 09 Nov 2008 08:53 am

This is the last you will see of my 360. in five years I have had three engines (b200, b23e, b230ft) Two diffs , many tyres and three different injection systems. I have done almost a hundred thousand kms.
I decided i would move on to a 244. I always worried about the weak driveline in the 360. Ihave put the turbo motor from the 360 in the 244, with a m46 trans. The 360 was a bit more fun to drive but the 244 tows my boat a bit easier. Even with the same engine.
Bye for now. Smithy[/img]Image

Did you see my threads about coming to Aus? I'm in Sydney at the moment, but will be in Melbs by the end of the week. I'd love to see that car in the flesh.

Yup, I'm in Melbourne at the moment, staying in North Melbourne, although fairly central, in a hostel near the Queen Victoria Market.

Sounds great. I'm out seeing Dalahare on Tuesday, trying to collect A/C parts to send back to the UK. I think he is not too far from you, so might swing by Tuesday depending on how much time we have, if that's OK.
