Hi all I work for a track day company in the uk and currently have two 360"s with hydraulic lifter problems and after a lot of research still cannot find anyone with stock of these or a cross reference part number. I know that they are the same as a 355 but that's as far as I can get, I did see a post on a forum of someone who claimed they know what other car they fitted but would not give any details. Please can someone help me. Brad Everymanracing.co.uk
while i dont do much with these anymore, my shopmate does...im told that nos parts long ago NLA, only "rebuilt/RE-MAN" parts available such is life until someone does a retrooling run... tbmk, there is no cross reference to application in another engine/family... sorry
What's the diameter of these lifters? You might have luck shopping in the BMW bins. They have 31, 33 & IIRC 35mm hydraulic lifters in their cars. FWIW, the 550's are 33mm. As an alternative, perhaps try to do a solid lifter conversion? You should be able to find lots of cars with solid lifters in the right diameter, and perhaps close to the right heights. If all else fails, I believe Willy Tagliavini @ Supertech Performance has been known to manufacture small runs of custom lifters (solid, not hydraulic).
I don't know whether this is out-of-date or not, but Ricambi still shows them available currently (but, man they sure ain't cheap ) ---- might give them a call to confirm what they have listed here on their website. 195017 PUNTERIA IDRAULICA DIAM.28,4 : Ricambi America It's amazing to me that these would be NLA ---- with all the 355s (@40 per) & 360s (@32 per) produced, the supplier must have had to make a crap load of these lifters. So, it's hard to imagine there are no spares left over somewhere ---- were these high replacement rate items over the years on these cars ?
Fatbillybob nailed it. Dave Helms/Scuderia Rampante is the man to talk to. Dave knows more about these lifters than he wants to know!
I am fairly certain that Dave has rebuilt ones in stock, you send him yours in exchange. Scuderia Rampante Ferrari
