I'm considering giving life a good old "fuck it" and buying myself a $20k headache...
1982 Ferrari Mondial, red, 77k, $19,950. Showed the girlfriend and she said, "It's ugly, I don't care." which is a thumbs up in girl-speak!
In for LS swap.

Do it bud. Would make a great rally crosser.
Noooooooooo
I think anyone can agree that the cheapest Ferrari on market is generally not a good idea. You'd think they'd have a much better description, especially being a dealer that sells tons of exotics and projects.
Definitely not a good idea.. I found more info on in it on FChat, a couple guys there have looked at it an gotten the scoop. Would be something where I got a PPI before hand, and I know already based on other's info that it's due for a major service and the obvious interior refinishing.
General consensus is, if you can drop the rear subframe that cradles the engine/trans/rear suspension you can save a lot of money, and if you don't need something pristine it would be a great driver's car.
I'm under no illusions it would be cheap, or fast, or smart in any way.

Heck no, it's already got a 9.2 second 0-60, why ruin that performance with a cheap American engine?

Can't see more power and torque hurting 0-60, especially since it's mid-engine.
Also, because CIS.

Anybody have input on bosch vs delphi ignition coils? I ordered delphi but am questioning my decision
I've always used Bosch with good results. Don't have first-hand experience with Delphi.

I used Delphi coils on my last change at about 171,000 miles. That was 28,000 miles ago and no problems.

I used Delphi on my n54 in desperation and had issues and immediately went back to Bosch. The Bosch cp's have a lifetime warranty as of 2017-ish so no reason to buy anything else as far as i'm concerned.

For clarity, I have nothing against Delphi in general but in this application I would not recommend them.
