The Ferrari 360 (360 Modena, Spider, and Challenge Stradale) used the F131 engine, a 3.6L (3586 cc) naturally aspirated V8 making about 400 hp and 275 lb-ft. It is a high-revving, flat-plane-crank V8 with DOHC heads and five valves per cylinder, dry-sump lubrication for consistent oil delivery under hard cornering, variable valve timing, and Bosch Motronic ME7.3 engine management. It is the engine that gives the 360 its distinctive high-pitched note.
A note on pricing. The listed price on this page is $27,999.00, but the description text separately claims the engines are priced between $10,000 and $15,000. That is a contradiction, so we do not rely on the in-copy figure; the page shows the listed price and routes current pricing and availability to a phone call. This is a high-value exotic engine, and replacement should be handled by a Ferrari specialist.

This F131 V8 is offered for the 360 Modena, 360 Spider, and 360 Challenge Stradale, the three 360 variants that use it; this fitment is accurate. The copy also mentions using a 360 engine in a 348 or 355; those used earlier engines, so a 360 unit in them is a custom-swap project, not a direct fit. Confirm fitment and configuration with a specialist. We disclose the engine history before shipping.
