    Not much chance of that! The Ferrari engine has 2 many cylinders... Dino motors are very expensive these days!

    There's more and more Giulia engines appearing for sale.

    Suitablity for a Stratos? Giulia is rear wheel drive so we'd need to source a gearbox. It also looks like quite a wide angle? And it's twin turbo'd so needs intercoolers etc. Bet the wiring would be a bitch too! Then there's the issue of 500bhp plus and keeping the car on the island. Not for me sir!

    I'm sure it could be wired to an aftermarket ECU by someone who knew what they were doing. But as you say - physical packaging in a Stratos would be the challenge!

    Hi Guy. I know it's a V8 but I'm sure I've seen them installed in some cars.

    Cheers, Mike

    There are at least two more.
    I saw a yellow Hawk at Geoff Turton's, years ago, which had this motor fitted, plus another Corse I, probably best described as an LB/Corse hybrid which was under construction.

    I think this is the chassis of the yellow Hawk John?:

    Spot the difference? (see pic.)
    There isn't much.
    I wonder if you could fit a 308 crank (and cams)? Or later on, or not at all?
