Reply to "Mangusta Hi po Engine"

dickruzzinMember

I have the Chevy. I met a gentleman that had worked at Chrysler when Lee Iacocca and DeTomaso ginned up those Chrysler DeTpmaso cars. He spent a lot of time at the factory in Italy and told me that once at a dinner with some of DeTomsos people they told him that before the Ford engine deal was finalized that they did engine packaging studies with all kinds of engines, "GM, Ferrari, Lamborghini,etc”.

He wanted to also sell the Mangusta body design to someone as well if he could not get an engine.

The vertical dimension is tight on the engine package, it cannot go down as that reduces road clearance. The frame would also move with it, that is not such a problem. The soundproofing engine covers could also move up.

My spark plugs sit about 1/2 of an inch off of the frame.
