Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Engine Rebuild III

   I think it might make sense to listen to what Ken said "it might be
   cheaper", maybe (just maybe) some one on the list has a car that they
   wish to or even worse need to sell. I do not know what the condition
   of your present car is ( other than the engine ) but I do know that
   some one on this list has a euro mondial 3.2 that probably has a
   strong motor.....hmmm I wonder ......??
