thats adams car (340glt)
Think its a williams 16valve 1.8 head/2 litre bottom hybrid.
But thats a 340 (renault engined).
No good for your 360.
Best bet for you really is a 2.3 redblock or 2.3turbo from a Volvo 700 or 900 series.

340s run a renault engine as standard from the factory. So a 16v Renault conversion is easy (as seen here)
360s run a Volvo engine as standard from the factory.
So unless you want to change ALL the ancilaries, running gear, transmition, torque tube etc (quite a big job) then youd be best off sticking to a Volvo engine.
Even if you DID change all that to run a renault engine, dunno how youd manage the engine and the renault ecu wouldnt run?

No bother dude.
Power is comparible, but turbos are much cooler.

With 700/900 turbo engine power petential is huge. The problem when going for big power is the drive line needing uprating
