Bill Harrah's famous "Jerrari". In a recent Hot Rod magazine, a show-car 
guy put a late Ferrari engine and transaxle into a Nash Rambler, mid-engined. 
He anticipated trouble getting the computer to work, so he called the 
factory in Maranello for info. The transatlantic phone conversation went like 
this- "Hi, I've got one of your 355 Ferrari engines in my Nash Rambler, 
and....CLICK!!!" 
Bottom line: don't expect factory support for your exotic engine into an 
'other' car! Cheers- J Deryke
