Honestly I'd stick with the 348 heads and use the BMW S62 TB's, you'd only need an adapter plate to make them work and new throttle shafts, not a big deal at all. Port the heads a bit and change the cams if you really want too. 5v heads are just a PITA and more expensive to start working over esp the cams and with the 360 you've got the variators to deal with.
Course that's what I just finished doing and it managed to hit the mid 500's with stock 348 headers, custom headers are being fab'd so that we can get the flow to hopefully hit 600. The insane 'sucking' whistle past the TB's at part throttle sounds like a jet spooling up.
I've got a 360 engine stripped down to parts if you need data.
I always like data!
I need the S62 throttles for my S62
I don't want to get into a science project quite as radical as Mark's.
Also, the S62 heads are spaced for a 98mm bore center. Isn't the Ferrari bore center smaller than that?
Variators are just single step gizmos, right? Like VTEC on Hondas? One could control those with Megasquirt.
