Met up with Darrin Williams of Gravity Red Productions to do a little shoot of the car. Had an absolute blast getting to spend the better part of 7 hours driving this thing!

at least a little. This car is meant for racing, not cruising. Spent pretty much the entire next day comatose on the couch. Still, it was fun and we got some awesome shots! Really looking forward to seeing how the final video turns out!
Wouldn't be surprised if that recording equipment is worth more than my car. But man, does it make for some good shots!

Very cool build, looking forward to seeing that pro footage!

Looks like I’m going to be looking at Maserati engines on eBay now ? Sounds so good!

If you do go that route, feel free to hit me up for advice. Hardest part about this swap was simply not having the information needed to pull it off.

Sick build man! Surprised you can get a Ferrari engine for just $3k. That sound alone makes it worth way more than the typical LS swap. Sounds mental, and not much of a weight penalty. Awesome job! ??

Thank you! The engine itself is actually lighter than the original flat 6. The reason the car's weight went up by 60lbs is largely from the steel brackets I made to hold everything together. Once I teach myself to work with aluminum, I might rebuild some of them to bring the weight down. Would love to see it scrape just below 2500 again.
