Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest FORZA - good issue

Eh....you're going to have to throw SERIOUS cash at the intake-side of things to get a 2V engine to surpass a properly set-up 4V 3.2 stock engine.......we have a guy here in MA who is going to try, though.

Hmmm....that 'might' be about right - there is a lot of labor involved with Head removal if the engine isn't already out of the car.  My 4V heads were around $7,000 for all the valves and machine-shop work.  But that was AFTER the engine was pulled, stripped, and heads removed.  The 4V heads can be a royal nightmare if they don't want to come off - I got major-lucky, my rear heads practically fell off the block while my front heads only needed mild pursuasion with a rubber mallet.

 

An engine punch-out, with custom heads, pistons, crank, and cylinders will EASILY run north of $35,000.

Ok, a lot of money but not the end of the world either. It should obvious this isn't a starter Ferrari by any means!

Michael, would it be any better if we did this project on a 2 valve carbed car....save ya 8 valves worth of work?
