Monza 3.6 Evo
That's a good question. According to an article in Carscoops, and I quote:
Lee sent the car to UK’s Moto Technique in order to overhaul it using only Ferrari parts. More than 3,000 hours of work and over a million dollars later, the car was ready. The original 192hp V6 has now given its place to a 3.6-liter V8 that produces 400hp and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
The alloy engine block comes from a Ferrari F40 and is mated to a pair of four-valve heads from a 348, throttle bodies, fly-by-wire throttle, titanium conrods and a bespoke crankshaft.
The five-speed manual transmission comes from a 328 and the brakes are from a 360, while the chassis was reinforced in its key areas with box sections and seam welding. Everything looks like it came from the factory this way – even the 17-inch alloys are custom designed to look like the original (but smaller) Campagnolos.

IMHO, this Dino is amazing.

Jay Leno's Garage - David Lee's 1972 Dino Monza 3.6 Evo
David Lee is creating 25 of the hand crafted Dino's powered by a Ferrari V-8 engine. Yes, a Ferrari resto-mod, built in the UK to a very high standard, using only genuine Ferrari parts. 3000 thousand hours of work and a million dollars later and voila, yo...
I dig it..
Are the twenty-five new Dino's he intends to modify original or is does he intend to build them from scratch? Also, where does one get twenty-five surplus F40 engines? The 206 and 246 are the first cars I can remember desperately loving in my childhood.

Strange you should mention that. You're not the first to make that claim.... Cheers, Rocky
nowhere man, I miss having Frank around
For some unknown reason, I tend to use the 'Apostrophe' key excessively when I type. Moreover, my Doctor has been unable to diagnose why I keep singing 'She's Just Like A Penguin In Bondage' in my sleep. I'm seriously considering undertaking a pilgrimage ...
