Smart upgrade.

Belt driven engine in the 360 was a pile of crap that ruined any pretensions of being able to use it in a daily driver scenario.

The LS is generally a better motor in almost any engine bay it goes into, but shoving it in a 360 is just about the best thing that chassis could have done to it.

But sooooo right. Story was, the owner blew the original engine, instead of buying a new 360 Motor, he took an LS and built it 1000hp with the same finances he would've used to buy a stock 360 motor.

There's no way to own a car like this and not be a 1000% douchebag about it. You need to get a chevy leather jacket, Nascar cap and have the appearence of a redneck that just won the lotto. Then, you need to frequent Ferrari clubs across the country (yes, the whole country, and you can totally afford to do that if you can own/mod this car) and this is how ALL of your conversations need to start, end, or go.

"Yeah, It had the original weedwhacker in there, but I had to get it out of there after a few hundred miles. All that high pitched whinin' and whalin'...I mean damn, it's like it's got my massive dick stuck in the intake port or sumthin'. I couldn't stand it. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my wife every night, but I couldn't take her makin' that kinda noise every damn hour of the day everytime we go someplace!

"So yeah, I had the boys at the shop swap in a real V8 in thar. 'murican made. Now it sounds like a real man's sports car, Amirite fellas!?"

This probably ends with you getting shot, tarred, or feathered. If you manage to escape every encounter, it's best to not let any Ferrari fan (or Ferrari themselves) know where you live.

Belt driven?

Like...timing belt? In a supercar built after the OPEC era? Surely you jest, VC. I don't wanna believe Ferrari would take a cost cutting measure like that and their list of exclusive clientele would just let them get away with it...

If that was my garage, I'd have a Ferrari with a chevy v8 too.

Other belt engines from the era are...well how do I put this nicely for Ferrari...less shitty?

You know what? I kinda sorta don't hate that. Must have something to do with the fact i'm not that head over heels with Ferraris, as most people seem to be. At any rate there was a V8 in there, so for all that i know, the handling could have even remained untouched.

Now porsches, especially classic ones are a completely different cup of tea. Not just because i like them, no, that's not the word, i aspire to own them, yeah, but because putting a V8 in place of a flat6 would, presumably, ruin the handling of the car. Now that is murder. This... more of an intriguing project.

Let's start doing crazy swaps the "opposite" way.
(Get it? "Opposite." We're on Oppositelock. Bah, never mind.)

Put some super-exotic motor in a 1998 Firebird. Twin-turbo V8 from the F40? V10 from the Carrera GT? Zonda V12!? Koenigsegg Agera R V8?!&@!?

Purists around the would collectively crap their pants, and I would laugh like a maniac while the world burns around me.

"Belt driven? Like...timing belt?"

No, like a crankshaft driven belt, unlike a more efficient turbo engine that runs on its own exhaust steam.

Exhaust steam is terrible! It may be great for powering vehicles but farting in the shower is the worst.
