1966 Maserati Mistral V-8

When Bill Scott of Victorville, California, ran into trouble with the Lucas fuel injection on his Mistral’s original straight-six, he couldn’t find anyone who could (or would) work on it. So he yanked the engine and stuck in a ZZ4 small-block Chevy 350. The car, which he’s owned for 39 years and which appeared in the 1970s TV series Switch with Robert Wagner, also got a new grille to resemble those fitted to Maserati racers of the 1950s. Scott made the grille on his own water-cutting table. Scott plans to return the original engine, properly rebuilt, to its original home this year.

That's it, yes.
And I hope he returns the front to the original Frua design whilst he's at it!
