Was never much of a 348 fan...

but this could make me reconsider:

I've always liked the 348 but I've heard they're built like schitt.

I took two videos from the same spot at Road America. A 355 and a 333sp. I think the 355 sounds better.

I thought you were talking about a Chevy engine. I guess it's the hillbilly in me.
One of my dream cars was a white '58 Chevy wagon with a Tri-Power 348 & 4 speed.

Sorry, was going to take care of you but I couldn't find any videos of a '58 348 going above 20mph....

I completely agree.

If you're stylin' in a '58 Nomad you don't need to go more than 20mph.

They don't film in Nebraska...lived there and So.Dak. for 33 years. After moving, it took 3 days of wondering what was missing before realizing the wind is not ubiquitous.

We have a friend of the family with a Nomad from '55, '56, and '57. The 57 was all original with factory air and he found in in AZ for $1200 back in 92 and he hasn't spend much on it since. His 55 is all custom and has several trophies for it and the Coke fridge trailer.

They're slow, and the transaxle sucks. The F355 is THAT much better, for not much more money. If you really like the 348 door strakes, you can put them on a 355

I work with a guy that daily-drives a 348 from Santa Fe to Los Alamos and back (~35 mi each way) every nice day. He claims it's pretty reliable and fixable once you figure out where the cheap versions of the parts are.

IDK if it's stock, but the exhaust sounds awesome ripping up the mountain...

That is probably a $7k exhaust on that Ferrari. Remember our Porsche tax? The Ferrari tax is way worse! But GG is right, the 355 sounds way better!

You can never go wrong with flip up headlights.
