    Russ, those carbed ones look amazing. Now add a few more and you'll have a BB!

    PS - BryanP was asking if I'd seen you when we were at the FCA Nationals.

    Regards,

    MTC

    Interesting to note that virtually all of them use an electromotive ignition!

    I am hovering ever so close to getting a carb'd BB. If only you guys had not elevated the prices... :)
    Bryan and his family are true class. Looks like I may be moving back to Alex. next year!

    Hear, Hear. I concur wholeheartedly. It would be great to have you back Russ. Good luck on the BB! I'm on an F 40 hunt right now. The 308 is about to go.

    I think of the Mondial like a guy I know who has always kept a Porsche 356 with other cars - other more ritzy cars may come and go, but you can't let that classy first love go easily, especially as #75039 has the very best of everything and loving care.

    I am a Mondial owner - the definitive end user. :)

    morcal - Very nice! I've never seen a factory FI set up like that on a transverse V-8. That car must have an interesting story.

    My accountant wants me to stop listening to you evil boxer people...for a little while yet... :)

    Here's a pic of my engine that's hopefully going in this weekend . . . 11:1 compression and over .400 lift on the intakes.

    Thanks to all for the help, advice, and inspiration.

    A couple of dyno photos from the great guys at www.carobu.com -- they have the dyno sheets on their superb website if interested.

    3.2 liter racing 2 valve (338hp)
    308 track car (318 hp)
    the famous Nick's 3.5 liter (338 hp)

    A quick technical note. Notice that many racing headers tuned for max hp have "4 into 1" headers as opposed to the more torquey street friendly 4 - 2 - 1 version as stock.

    Can't say enough good things about Carobu - I'm just a long time customer.

    What is that Dino engine sitting in? The engine cover is not that of a Dino. Any more info on that engine? What's been done to it? When was this photo taken? Who did the work?

    Thanks

    there were a small run of 4v 246 engines, this being one of them. I believe the intended use was the Lancia Stratos in competition.

    Hello snj5, I'm New to Ferrari Chat, but I have been following some of your threads and enjoyed reading some of the info you put out there. I just purchased a similiar 308 engine for a project car, 1977 GTB I am working on. I wanted to ask what kind of average speeds you are hitting, and if the engine has a good amount of torgue and top end power. Thanks!
