Not Dino, but still Italian V6 and cool

Had to share this with you gents as we’re pretty excited about it. I finally broke 300hp with one of our road engines and boy does it make a noise at 7500rpm. What Dino! (I kid haha)

stroked 3.3L Merak engine with 48IDA carburetors and all manner of other internal goodies

 

Note, John’s team only agreed set up the dyno for me if I would bring them three of these engines to test. Such was the work to set up the dyno. That said, John and his team are fabulous people.

 

That one on the dyno is actually going into the Ligier JS2 that raced at Lemans in ‘73 as a spare engine. The owner wanted to preserve the original, can’t blame him. I have another one identical to it in a late Merak already but it hasn’t been on the dyno as this one has.
