What's the difference between a Ferrari V8 engine and a Ford (or Holden) V8?

They're both V8s. Is it the twin turbochargers? Fuel injection? If I put on a Ford or Holden V8 motor, what a Ferrari V8 engine has on it, would it perform the same as a Ferrari V8?





What makes the difference? Can I buy a cheap V8 engine and turn it into a super-car engine? If not, why not?|||its all about desighn and how well crafted the engine is. i have a lexus v8 that gives 300hp and 310lb of torgue. without killing the mpg. so the 3 main peices of design for engines is hp torque and mpg. alot of engines can easily be reworked by pros to get alot more power without spending to much $$$. such as i have a techer who had a guy work on his dodge ram 2500 deisel engine and it cost a good bit and im not sure of what all was done but it has over 1000hp now. so you can work a v8 to be much more powerfull (especisally deisel) but farrari has some of the best pros doingt hat along with the best parts for the rest of the car. so dont expect a farrari sound or power. you can expect maybe twice your hp if your good at it|||Ferrari V8's are very different than a Ford V8. Think precision engineering. Ferrari's cost more money for a reason. There is no way you could get the same power and precision out of a Ford Engine. Ferraris usually also come naturally-aspirated.
