This is an item one does not see for sale very often. I wonder what happened to the Bora that held this engine.
I think this Maserati engine could make a great power plant for a hot rod or custom car. Or possibly to power a Ferrari that has been separated from its original engine; a 250 GTE like the one shown in Ferrari 250 GTE Corvette or this Ferrari 212.
You could be the only one in your car club with a hot rod Maserati.

Oh yeah, a little Deuce Coupe with a Maserati V8!
Why not?
Great idea, Ralph. We read all about American hardware in the European cars, how about a reversal? 😉
I like the idea of saving a Ferrari with a Maserati engine.
Did you sell the engine?

Hello
I was the seller of this engine which I regret selling it now
I have not encountered another 4.9 engine for the bora since they are extremely rare
Anyhow the engine came out of a burnt Bora which I believe was in Texas
that’s all the info I had on it
I have a 78 Bora 4.9 engine for sale but its a clean 7000 mile example. Its currently disassembled so there are no hidden secrets. Includes full gasket kit. It came out of a car that was in a building fire during restoration but the engine was at a different location
Hello…If still available please advise price and location. Thanks.
Its about 40 miles north of Detroit. I’ll be there from about 8/5 to 12/1. I was planning to pull it out of storage then research and come up with a price in a couple weeks, I have some old info posted here about the car https://www.build-stuff.com/maserati/ Contact info is at the bottom of the web page. Offers are welcome, good time to inspect it and grab a bargain before I assemble it.
I have a future use for two of the weber carbs but otherwise the engine is all there. I sold the ZF transaxle for $7500 20 years ago but kept thinking I’ll find a project to use the engine in.
