PostHeaderIcon (italy)History of Iso Grifo

PostDateIcon | PostAuthorIcon

Iso Spa in Bresso was already well known for producing the extremely well built and fast Iso Rivolta IR300; a sleek looking 2+2 Coupe based on a Chevrolet Corvette power train. After leaving Ferrari, in 1961 Giotto Bizzarrini set up “Prototipi Bizzarrini” in Livorno, Tuscany where he designs and consults for Marques like ATS, Lamborghini and Iso Rivolta. In 1963 he designed the Iso Grifo A3/L (L for Lusso {Italian for Luxury}) for Renzo Rivolta, who was looking for a follow-up to his Iso Rivolta GT. The body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, while Giotto put his expertise in the mechanicals. Giotto figured there would also be a demand for a race version of the Grifo and came up with the A3/C (C for Corsa) with a dramatic modified alloy body. He later dubbed it his “Improved GTO,” as he had been the designer for the 250 GTO when he had worked for Ferrari. The engine was moved back about 0.4 meters, making the A3/C one of the first front-mid-engined cars ever built. To adjust the timing, you actually had to take out a piece of the dash! Both cars were being built simultaneously.

That same year Bertone showed the Grifo A3/L prototype at the Turin Auto Show, while Iso showed off the (partly unfinished) competition version; the Iso Grifo A3/C. Both were overwhelmingly successful. Although design changes had to be made to the prototype, Iso concentrated on getting the Grifo A3/L ready for production. The car got a light facelift that made it less aggressive but turned it into possibly the most elegant-looking Gran Turismo (GT) supercar ever produced. This “street” Iso Grifo GL received the fast, modified but very dependable Chevrolet Corvette’s 327 V8 (5.4 L) engine—either in 300 or 350 hp—coupled to a Borg-Warner 4-speed toploader. These engines were ordered in the US, but were completely taken apart and blueprinted before they were put in; as they did with the Iso Rivolta GT. With over 400 horsepower (300 kW) and a weight of less than 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) , the vehicle was able to reach speeds over 275 km/h (171 mph).

PLEASE HELP!
Can someone share with me what is expected when you rebuild a marine ford engine? what parts should be replaced and or rebuild?
I have a Ford 351 marine engine, ski nautique, with 1200 hours on it and I had the engine rebuild? It cost me $6000.00? The boat has ran horrible since the rebuild? Never saw a receipt of break down of cost? I continue to spend money as the CARB was bad, RPM is only hitting 36?
PLEASE HELP DEFINE WHAT I SHOULD OF GOT FOR THIS REBUILD?
Thank you SINGLE MOM
Email me: Callangie@yahoo.com

An itemised receipt is a reasonable thing to expect when spending that amount!

All new parts (pistons, rings, bearings, seals, paint) machining and cleaning of block etc., all labour and testing.

Why won't the shop give you a cost breakdown or honour the warranty?

Your first stop is the supplier of the service, if the engine worked before the rebuild to a certain performance level it is fair to expect the new engine to match or exceed this - so it comes back to who did what, and then to sort out what the responsibilities of all the parties are.
