Ferrari Mailing List: Re: V12 308 - Recipe for Smoked Testarossa?

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I have a copy of that 308 V12 conversion manual.

 

It was feasible back then as the donor V-12 engines were “reasonably” priced. Now though, it wouldn’t make sense. There was a Daytona V-12 engine for sale on Hemmings a few months ago – used as a display piece, so who knows why it was taken out of a car – and they were asking  $110K...

 

Although, it’s a great reference for the process and could be adapted using a modern 12 (like from a 456 or 550).

The hot rod BB reminded me of this car.

I hadn’t read the article in years...
