250 Engine Block

Here is a totally stripped down 250 engine block known as basimento, or base to which the rest of the engine is attached. Looks kind of skeletal.

    I got to hand it to you guys. The knowledge you have. I have to ask if there any other pictures of the v12 engines that you restore, that you do not put on Ferrari Craft? I really want to build a full scale replica of the Colombo v12(it could take a life time but I’ll do it), but there aren’t many pictures of it on the web. When I say pictures, I mean detailed drawings. I am especially interested in the 250 design. The cylinder heads are much different from the earlier cars. Please help. I have scoured the web, and three different libraries where I live, and you guys always have the best pictures.

    Dominick,

    I remember a guy asking me for photo of a Daytona engine a year or so ago, was that you? Keep an eye out on the blog for more photos of engines.

    The correct word is “basamento”, not “basimento” :-)
    Congratulations for your blog, it’s simply gold.
