The cadillac at 1:06, I've read a story about it. The story said they were planning on putting a twin turbo'd durmax in it.

very nice I love it.

sigh... lazy people, they are every where....Here is a video of them tuning it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIfmgZ4nvKAand here is the whole build http://www.diversstreetrods.com/ferrambo/jbook.pdf

Agreed CZero, Ferrari itself isn't going to be bothered by an American hot rodder, the ECU itself probably has its own challenges. As you know and pointed out, many factory ECUs have tie-ins with other systems in the car. This is why so many engine swaps require a trip to the dealer to enable the new engine to work in its chassis, and why every F20C swap I've seen integrates the S2000 instrument cluster. I was going to ask, before watching the video, why they didn't use an EMS but now I see they've gone with one. Just a matter of sorting out the harness I suppose before they can get it to fire up!

i think it's hilarious that people are saying ferrari is threatened or some shit. They really don't care if one guy in a shop puts a ferrari motor in there. I guess a lot of you are new to ecu's with more than a few kilobytes of information. It has a lot to do with warranties and security. For one, ferrari motors cost alot, being able to tamper with the ecu settings and blowing the motor can cost ferrari a lot of money in warranty. That's a small reason, a larger reason is security. Even with audi/vw you have to have the proper gauge clusters and programming to run the engine no matter what you put it in. You also can not even swap ecu's without recoding to the proper vin. So it has nothing to do with anything you guys think, and everything to do with the things you don't.My biggest problem with this video is they didn't even start the car! Wth, they just pushed it around... Does it run or does it not?

"BOOHOO! my daddy has ferraris and I don't like this boohoo!"Get over yourself. A little sports car brat like yourself wouldn't understand hot rodding. Don't you have some fitted luggage to polish? This is an amazing combo and a great way to think outside the box.P.S. is it any suprise Ferrari was a bunch of A-holes about this? They have always been like that and it hasn't really worked out for them. (Ford GT40 anyone?)

Sweet ride, though I wasn't too enthused seeing them pushing it around and then hearing him talk about engine/wiring issues. I think if it started and ran, we would have witnessed it. TRUST ME, I'm going through the same thing with custom ride, but I wouldn't take it public unless it was driveable.

very cool imo

This is typical to a company like Ferrari to be threatened buy one little shop and a guy with a whole ton more creativity than anything Ferrari has put out in the last 10 years.
