      I'll give you a solid opinion on an LS in a BMW next week...1UZ doesn't make much power so I'd rule that out straight away. A Ferrari V8 out of a Maserati would be cool. You can pick one up for around $4-5k. The sound alone would be worth it.

                  what?!

                  with 18k miles because the owner didnt want to drop $20k on the 18,001 mile maintenance package? 

                  Which V8? the F355

                    It would be interesting to see an older small block (Chevy 283 mopar 2 something or other). It needs barley any wires to run, toss heads and cams on it and be done. Not to mention they are dirt cheap to find

                      Read. Ferrari v8 out of a Maserati. There's one with 40k on ebay for $4300. You're almost as bad as sir Kaiser.

                          It's nothing special. I just love the fact that dodge has the guts to put a 707hp engine in a rental car and sell it to the general public for a fairly accessible price.

                          But.... This is special IMO, I just wish they could've fit equal length headers

                            Flathead with Ardun OHV conversion.

                            Or...

                            A rover V8 in a 2002 or e21 would be neat.

                              How about a 2002 Rover V-8 in a Isetta.  You'll be dropping cylinder liners while youre droppin panties, nahm sayin?

                                I am extremely impressed/surprised that there's someone else on here who knows about Ardun heads.

                                  Are those the ridiculously rare heads for the ford's?  Weren't they like a race special?

                                    Yes sir. Pretty trick stuff for the time. If you don't know about them, look into the V8 60 that Ford made. It was a smaller flathead V8 used mostly in midget racers and race boats.

                                      Thanks, I'll look that up!  I heard the name once at a small cars and coffee gathering in Madison a few months back and one of the guys was saying that there is a Madison collector that has a few of them just lying around that he gathers as they come up for sale.  I don't remember if Chris was there or would remember that but he may be able to confirm.  Or I've had a long day and i'm just making shit up now.

                                        Thanks, I'll look that up! I heard the name once at a small cars and coffee gathering in Madison a few months back and one of the guys was saying that there is a Madison collector that has a few of them just lying around that he gathers as they come up for sale. I don't remember if Chris was there or would remember that but he may be able to confirm. Or I've had a long day and i'm just making shit up now.

                                        There is a guy in Madison that owns all the NOS Ardun heads in existence. Looking forward to seeing his collection sometime. *hint hint Pat wake yo' ass up for C&C*
