If you've got the facilities, how about fitting a NA 2.3 from a 240? Running on carbs. Would sound mint :D

I think they get about 130bhp?

i was just looking at the red 360 over in europe with the 2.3 in it on webers sounds good to me

was it only the 240 that had the 2.3 n/a?

Nope, i think 740's and 940's also have N/A's - Whether there carb'd or fuel injection i dont know :) In all honesty, more power = 2.3 Turbo, but carbs do sound the sex! :lol:
