thanks for the suggestions and help. i've done some research, but until recently haven't found much info on the cars. found a foreign car repair manual in an antique store over the summer, with a whole chapter on the 360. i did spot a 360 van (the vehicle came in sedan, van and pu models... and a rumored sporty model) in a driveway last week. i just don't have a clue as far as perf goes. am considering a v-twin or small L4 (e.g., kawasaki 600, etc) swap, but that'd require a lot of alteration throughout the drivetrain. just want more power. anyway, thanks again
