An American V8 will never sound like a Ferrari. Cross plane crank vs flat plane crank V8 of the Ferrari's. Flat plane V8's fire L R L R L R L R, while cross plane V8's fire L R L L R L R R which give it that distinctive lumpy/throaty burble. Now you could make a F20/22c sound like a Ferrari since a Ferrari V8 is nothing but two I4's fused together... The muffler has a lot to do with it as well, but is not as fundamental.

not sure on the cam yet, it will be a nitrous cam, heads are going to be tsp 5.3 2.5's and im using the bbk 85mm tb and intake combo that is in the pics. it actually makes better power than the fast combo.
