i bought a replacement 360 for mine( after blowing the head gasket in my old one) for 100 bucks! they r plentiful and cheap to buy, all of them r expensive to buy parts for! my 360 is a torque god however i love it.... the gas milage is crappy. once u get it on the trail u forget about that and the grinnining doesn't stop.
i plan on rebuilding my blown 360 with a wild cam and over bore, you had better do research on frame problems( needs some support, especially with big tires), i would add an aluminum radiator into the build or you will have overheating problems like i did. it stinks to be running 65 up the highway and see water blowing out the exhaust without warning!
