The F40 is getting an engine! But remember, this is just the process for figuring out if the engine will even fit. This car originally came with a V8, and that means there are several cylinders worth of space that this new engine is going to take up. Ever heard the term 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag? Yeah, it might kinda be like that. Let’s see.
I have worked on a Ferrari F40 pretty extensively. I know that sounds weird coming from me, but the truth is that I’ve done some stuff to a Ferrari F40, and the Ferrari F40 engine, that most people have not. That’s a story for another day, but because of my experience with one particular Ferrari F40, I find this new project makes me smile. The Stanceworks crew is going to do something to this one that only they would, and in a way that only they can get away with. There will be some feelings hurt over this one. There will be people that are mad. And there will be people that lose their f’ing minds. But it’s just a car, and nothing is permanent when it comes to cars.
