Boy, am i gonna get a hiding for saying that...hehe!

I suppose only the legendary Dante Giosca would have been able to shed light on this...
Dear Friend, For sure I Have heard from many old tuners about this story that " the ferrari V8 was cut into half and redesigned and detuned for use by fiat in their normal passenger cars!" in the early '50s.
Please try and talk to Chubi/Nazir/Srikant and sure one of them will give u the story!!
