I suggest you try to locate that book "inside Ferrari" by Michael Drengi (sp) . Ferrari Market Letter www.ferrarimarketletter.com sells many Ferrari books and probably has that book ready to ship. You cannot believe how much of an early Ferrari is not made by Ferrari! Really good question. I suggest you try to locate that book “inside Ferrari” by Michael Drengi (sp) .

It is amazing to me to think about how much ferrari accomplished, without using computers.

There is a youtube video showing the construction of the late model cars from the molds to pouring the liquid aluminum to the final assembly. We have a book called "Inside Ferrari" and it shows them sand casting many parts. Here's the link to the post: http://www.ferraricraft.com/2010/02/video-ferrari-engine-assembly/ I am under the impression that Ferrari made many engine parts except for the pistons and rings, bearings were from an outside source, but the crank, cams, rods, sprockets were all machined at the Ferrari factory. I am never sure with the transmissions, I believe they used gears from ZF and put them in their castings? I cannot imagine that Ferrari made the 5 speed transmissions for the 365/400's. These are so huge and industrial, almost like a truck transmission adapted to fit the car. Great question that I would like more answers on! Dominick.

I was wonder how, if you know, ferrari casted the parts of the engine? That is to say, where they casted using the last wax process, or just a oiled sand space that was filled with molten metal? Do you know of any websites with this information? I am very intrigued with not only ferrari, but the process in which ferrari produced its parts.

I am not sure where else to find the mechanical pump. There is no way that it is specific to Ferrari so I would keep looking at shops that service tractors or other industrial machines. Thanks for commenting Steve Uwe Rudy

He is always helpful and so I would like todo him a favour. He is lokking for to get another mech. fuel pump (FISPA 4006.22) or parts to overhaul the piece or information, which other car/truck used an identical fuel pump. Maybe you can help me to help my neighbour. Thank you in advance and best regards Uwe Rudy Hello ferrari enthusiast,
