I am now looking for a replacement engine for my Fiat Punto. Since I will now not be designing a chassis I hope to put a Ferrari engine in it. Which one is best?

I am looking at the book about Ferrari and it tells me there are 2 tyoe of Ferrari engine. One with 8 piston and the other with 12. If I cannot put all 12 piston in the engine bay can I take some out? Will I have to saw off part of the engine?

Yes, please let me know you address and I will collect. Will it fit in the punto, if not could you send it too me via royal mail?

I would love to see a photo of the engine since I would not want to buy something which would be expensive to repair.

Hospital? No, you think I am being funny? Well I have had this before on this website.

When can you send me a photo of the ferrari engine I must look at it and see if it is rusty.

No the Punto has it's engine in the front. But if I were to reverse the car would it make it have the engine in the back?

Should I change the seats around and also the gear box. Would this make it more like a ferrari? How come I have never seen a ferrari driving in reverse?

Chassis, on a realistic note a new 456/550 engine is circa sixty thousand pounds sterling. Still want to go ahead?



Ah but this is for a new one yes? So I would get a cheaper one if I were to go to a scrap yard and clean it myself yes?

Now I feel very confused. OK so you think my car may already have a Ferrari engine in it? I do not think so since I have much trouble trying to go up hills.

So would it be better for me to put a small 8 piston engine in? Will this make a car go to 200 miles per hour when i go on the track? I have seen the cars with wings on the back. If I put these on would this help me go faster?

I have been outside and the only cover I can see it a metal thing with water in it. It's says to remove it slowly. Does this help?

There is also a plastic bottle with blue liquid in it. Should there be oil in this? There is no cap with 710 on it. Is this number the power of the engine?

Two stroke? Would this mean I have many more horse power than normal. Now I am very excited!

I am going down my garage today as they told me they didn't understand why I needed a Ferrari engine. Now they will learn a thing or two as my friends here have told me.

I took went to the Fiat dealers and i had a debate with a man called Steve at the counter.
I had printed out the information you gave me and he took it away to show the people in the mechanical area with the cars.

He said he would keep it so he could pass on the information to other customers.
He also told me I could work for them when I maybe get more experience because my ideas sounded so much fun. He was smiling all the time.

I am thinking you guys have helped me in improving my life, I thank you very much.
