Johnny Fargas enjoys driving his Fiat 124 Sport Spider but wanted more power. Instead of going with a GM or Ford V8, he decided to keep it Italian and go with a Ferrari/Maserati F136 V8. The engine’s expected output of 450 horsepower should be plenty for the 2,300 lb sports car. Johnny plans to run a T56 six-speed manual with a custom adapter plate and Ford 9-inch rear end with a four-link suspension. You can follow the project’s progress on their YouTube channel or @ferrari.powered.

Fascinating idea…but in the end, I’m gonna say physics will win.
…Someone said that to the designers of the Air Force F4 Phantom!!!
Please stay tune, we have some ideas to deal with the engine placement, track and weight distribution… hopefully ingenuity will trump conventional thinking.
Godspeed!
