The old 365/372's were the same saw chassis with a different piston/cylinder. The new 365/372's designated XP X-Torq (it's getting hard to find the OE's still in dealer stock) are exactly the same saw, notwithstanding the restrictor plate in the transfers of the 365 that is not found in the 372. The piston/cylinder are exactly the same. You can remove the transfer cover and grind the restrictor out and viola', you have a 372. Either version and displacement is a fine saw. If it were my money, and I was in the market for this size saw, I would get the 365 and get to grinding.
The new strato X-torq 365 71cc The older 65cc ones came in open and closed port. I had several of the 65cc ones in closed port and the were great runners. Mine showed 365 special on decals.

The dealer mentioned the 365 was underrated at 65cc, i guess that's what he meant. Is there a reason the 365 isnt labeled as an XP saw, besides marketing?
Won't know for a year or 2 if you made the right choice. That's the trouble with life,no way to turn back time and try another saw. I was just at the dealer in Buckfield and he had some 372 on the shelf. I had a 372 for years now. Just replaced the anti vibration springs on it.
The new 365/372's designated XP X-Torq... are exactly the same saw, notwithstanding the restrictor plate in the transfers of the 365 that is not found in the 372.... You can remove the transfer cover and grind the restrictor out and viola', you have a 372. Either version and displacement is a fine saw. If it were my money, and I was in the market for this size saw, I would get the 365 and get to grinding.

If I'm remembering correctly, the photos indicated that you could not make the change simply by grinding. You'd have some extra work to do You have to make the channel on the cover deeper, but there is not enough meat to do so without building the cover up).I may be remembering this incorrectly, but it's something to look at more closely before you buy a 365 with the idea of converting it.
How many times have you said:"Gee, I wish I had built this shed/garage/barn/etc. a little smaller, I have more room than I need."
