    It’s actually 4.0 lbs :)

    *And they’re probably the heaviest ones on the car.

    FHP uprated front and rear sway bars are fully in along with a billet aluminum clamp/polyurethane sway bushing system. I would like to try out different bushing systems as I test the car.

    I also chose to go with the beefier 5.2 sway bars arms since that is what FHP cars are equipped with. Who knows if they are better than 2.7 arms are not, but simply trying to minimize new variables.

    Challenge adjustable drop links are also in.

    Yeah. In another 60 or 70 years it'll match exactly.

    :D

    I don't understand why you went through all the hassle and expense of sourcing all those fancy FHP parts and couldn't find a dime to replace stock headers which are a disaster waiting to happen.

    Lots of assumptions :).

    Headers are easy to source. FHP parts, not so much.


    The previous owner of the car replaced manifolds with 2005 version, which is somewhere around 5-10k mi currently. I also have Larini manifolds set aside to go in during my next engine out.


    Regardless, at this stage I’m enjoying the OE look and the best of what Ferrari had to offer for the 355.

    I think I know the reason challenge badges yellow. It’s made of a different metal than standard badges.

    OE manifolds has its shortcomings, but they still look great on a 355. Matches the stock Y-pipe and stock cats perfectly.
