Ferrari 308 GTSi Owner Swaps Maranello's V8 for Pontiac Fierro's V6! [with Video]


We never cease to be amazed by the things some people do to their cars. But while we may turn a blind eye to creations such this Acura/Honda NSX turned into a Ferrari 360-lookalike or this Mazda RX-7-powered BMW E30, there's something fundamentally wrong with swapping the original 214HP 3.0-liter V8 powerhouse of a Ferrari 308 GTSi with the... Pontiac Fiero's, Chevrolet-sourced 140HP 2.8-liter V6 unit.
Even though the seller of the car may have a point or two about the GM engine being easier and significantly less pricey to service and/or fix, if maintenance is an issue, then you probably shouldn't be shopping for a Ferrari in the first place...
Nevertheless, if you're interested in this Magnum PI-made-famous Ferrari model with the Fiero-heart, it's up for sale on eBay, with the highest bid currently set at US$14,901.
