I know I haven't ran my big mouth in quite some time but this is what I have been working on for over a year now, I have owned the car for almost 20 years but had a few exhaust valves melt at 28 PSI boost in 2000, pulled the engine and then got distracted with something else, its been on my bucket list and its almost done. This was the second real start since I pulled the engine.
208 turbo GTB Ferrari
was 121 cubic inch V8 flat crank with 7:1 compression and twin turboed with EFI and DIS with pencil coils per plug
Its now 180 (308 block) cubic inch with JE pistons 8.5:1 compression twin turbos water to air intercooling, Haltech EFI, AEM twin fire to pencil coils. Remote electric water pump with bypass thermostat in the front. Here are a few pictures of the engine before I put it in the car. Headers are 304 stainless steel with ceramic coating inside and out, heat wrapped and then aluminum shield over the heat wrap. 14.7 PSI max boost should be about 438 HP @ sea level and 72F outside temp.
Guys don't get me wrong I still have my GT40 but I really do like all cars and this one has been around in the family for a long time.
