V8 into Surf

[Apache]

... but why a Lex?

What about one of these?

OK, so this one is a bit pricey, but Lancias rust like bu99ery so I'm sure there'd be some much cheaper ones around.

So who's gonna be the first with a Ferrari engined Surf?

Bit small isn't it 3000cc, bet its well revvy though.

Been done too many times, even by me

I'm sure it's power delivery is totally wrong for a truck, and a Lex or Rover is a better bet, but hey, just think of the sound - and the badges you could fit! Imagine this? Bright red Surf with a prancing horse badge just behind each wheelarch. You know what? If I had a few grand to spare - I'd go for it!

What would you call it though?

Furf?

Surfari? YES!!!

Fast?

Wouldn't have thought so. I think the 328 has around the 250BHP mark, which is similar to the Lex isn't it?

But the sound! You'd need to get the Ferrari pipes to fit somehow, so you keep that sound...

And styling by pininsurfafina... Or the 4x4/strange hanky dancing/ocean going styling

That engine is the wrong way 'round.
Unless you want a front wheel drive Surf of course.

Was'nt the Astra GTE engine fitted transverse but also drove the rear wheels in the Manta? Or am I talking cobblers?

Don't know, but it would have needed a different bellhousing/gearbox/driveshaft, which is what I was trying to say in my previous post.


So in summary, Cost!
