Ferrari 308 GT4 3.5L (358RR)
Ferrari 308 GTSi
The goal of this engine was to make the most power possible with a 2-valve 308
carbureted engine without extensive (and expensive) modification to the cylinder
heads.
The late (1978-79) carburetor version of the 308 2-valve series was infamous for
being the weak sister of the carbureted 308 variants. Stock power was in the 195-
205 HP range and acceleration was anemic compared to earlier versions.
We applied our 3.5L technology to this 2-valve engine and were satisfied with the
results. The power and torque increases have transformed the driving experience of
this 308 GT4 to what it should have been from the factory.
