Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Hey guys! Long time no see!

>>Larry notes - ". . . I know the 348 wasn't one of Ferrari's finest hours but I think the 355 made up for much of that...."

 

Personal note here - I love the 355 looks and personally I think it looks much less ungainly than its younger brother - the 360.  The two cars are just different - not better than the other.

 

However, careful here - a very early 355 with few miles on it may seem like a real find.  Thing is, the early 5 port heads had a bit of a cracking problem on the intake runners.  Either they were cast too thin or Guido got anxious with the grinder.  The heads, BTW, were a much sought after item by the 355 Challenge group as they were "stock" and the ports were much (a tiny bit?) larger.

 

Ferrari Bubba and I saw a set of these being replaced at Symbolic many moons ago when we drove down to Brian.
