Swapping a Ford V8 into a Ferrari F355

salvaged Ferrari F355 going to be swapped with a Ford V8

Dalt from ScrapLife Garage purchased a salvaged Ferrari F355 for $30,000+. Unfortunately the car’s electronics and 3.5 L F129 B/C V8 had seen water intrusion due to flooding from a hurricane. Dalt’s solution was to gut everything and swap the Ferrari V8 for a 5.0 L Coyote V8. A custom bellhousing and crank adapter will allow the Coyote to work with the factory Ferrari six-speed manual transaxle. The project is just in the beginning stage but already required cutting a rear support and top of the firewall.
