    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.

      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.

        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?

        2021 Gladiator Willys -- 6 speed manual, 33" Falken AT, 3/4" level

        2021 Low Rider S -- Stage 2, 117hp/128ft lbs

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

          Also, because CIS.

                            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.

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