Ferarri V-12 Swap ideas, not a pipe dream.

So, I was thinking of good piston engines, and how a lot of people consider putting a "run of the mill" piston engine into the RX-7 as a disgrace.

Well, have I got a swap for you guys! It's a fact that a lot of rich people buy Ferrari cars. It's also a fact that a lot of the said rich people don't know how to drive, and therefore total the said Ferrari cars. This means that, while probably still quite expensive, and unobtanium for the average Joe, there are Good used Ferrari engines out there, specifically late model V-12 engines, some even come in a FR layout with a manual transmission.

Now, if one could legally get their hands on this setup, and if it fit in the FC3S at all, while still allowing room for a radiator, and other aux components, I feel like it would be one hell of a swap!

You could run the engine with a good standalone computer, ala MOTEC, fabricate custom exhaust if needed, get a custom drive shaft, engine mounts, and do a few other things, and bam, you have the only Ferrari powered Rx-7 in the world!

Now, in reality, this might not end up being as easy, right? (Barring getting an engine in the first place of course)
