That same site shows a '77 308GTS as having 255 bhp so I'd view the 365BB power rating as a little towards the high side. Early '70s also saw the change to S.A.E. net bhp specs so this difference could be in there too (if the 365BB introduction was before the mandatory change). |

I though he was talking about the 512 with regards to the hp, sorry. 365s are great if you can find em. David has one |

Jim
search the archive for info on boxers/bb. I don't think they had 380 hp. A little less. Many guys here love them and some have them. I think they are a little overlooked because they preceeded the TR which was such a hit |

I have a question?
What is the history behind the 512 bb?
It seems to me, like it's a 308 that doesn't f--- around.
I know it's a flat 5 liter, 12 cyl with about 380 hp but, you really don't hear anything about them though.
How was the handling? Performance? Is maintenace outrageous?
Thanks,
Jim |
