ferrari 208 gtb has a 2.0 v8 but where the hell can you get one? lol

 

Found this regarding the Ferrari 208 GT4, with its 2.0 V-8. According to WikiPedia, it is the smallest displacement production road going V-8 at 1991cc’s.

You could always risk life and limb (or lots of money) to liberate a F1 engine. The current formula is 2.4l V8's.

Their history is littered with tiny displacement engines, however. Especially '61-'86. 1.5l, 2.5l, 3l, all V8s. Perhaps not the exact requirements from post #1, but they were all produced at some time.

Cosworth has built all kinds of motors. I know they're not so well-known in the states, but they have a long history of performance motors in production cars as well as racing applications. Looks like a lot of the F1 motors were 3.0L (older) and 3.5L (newer) V8s. Maybe not as small as you're looking for.

Not sure what the availability would be like on those F1 motors :-)

I thought you of all people would notice that the Ferrari 208 was already mentioned.:nono:

 

Alfa Romeo had a Coventry-Climax 2.0L V8 in their 67-69 "33 Stradale," a street car based on the Tipo 33 racecars. Their were only 18 produced but it made around 250hp and would spin up to 10,000 rpm, it also had a 6 speed transaxle.

 

Probably doesn't help if you're still looking for a motor, but if you do run across one you need to mortgage your house and buy it.:wink:
