Name That Engine
/
Here’s an easy one, in fact half the work is done for you as the Ferrari name is cast into the cam cover. Also, if you count the pipes, you can tell that it has at least six cylinders. The question is, what’s it powering, and what are the details of this Italian artwork? Shouldn’t…
