Volvo's own K or H cams are the usual choice, but can you not get something a bit more lively? Someone on here must know where to get spiky cams from.

K & H's are pretty good for a twin carb'd 360, but they're still not all that hot, depends what kind of power you're aiming for.

Why not go for a B230 carb instead? Straight swap :D

They are exactly the same. What Steve is on about why not swap the engine to a 2.3 for the extra go.
