Jim: ;-p Bob: Right on. Good job. That was fun. How about the one in the Daytona thread under general discussion? | ||

Good job, Bob. You weren't swayed by my insistence to the contrary. I was just testing you. Jim S. | ||

128D #1065GT was a donor motor going into a repro now. Don't know which car it was in originally, I'm sure someone will figure that out. Bob Snow was the first to respond with 128D. | ||

The tube alonside the engine carries coolant from the water pump to the rear of the engine. | ||

James, you can (barely) see the fuel rail running along the top-left side of the carbs, those things running in the vee, alongside the carb bases are definitely sparkplug wire guides. I'm still going with my 410 choice. If you look at the proportions of those cam covers, they're awfully big. I know how you feel though, come on Rob, just tell us what the f---ing motor is!  | ||

Wayne - Well, what can I say. I've studied these two photos for the past 15 minutes, and, well, I just don't know. Your photo reveals a cam cover that sits below the cam-end cap, while the original suggests that the cam cover rides higher then the cam-end cap. Is it possible that fuel lines run through the channel that you suggest contain the spark-plug wires? In the original photo I cannot identify spark plugs in the center of the V, while I believe I see a wire exiting the channel outside of the V. I sit by my computer, breathless with anticipation, hoping that this conundrum is resolved before I degenerate into a disgruntled, dyspeptic, disheveled, distempered old man. (I love alliteration). Perhaps it is a twin plug, one inside the "V" and one outside. | ||

Magoo, Rob says he will find out exactly what it is. Besides, I think we are all just having fun here with it, anyhow. James, here is a pic of a 128D (inside plug) engine. Note that the plug wires run along the channel indicated by the yellow arrow. The red arrow indicates the channel that you were referring to in Rob's photo. I don't know what that is. Anybody else? Also, if you look at the distributors in Rob's photo, it doesn't appear that there are any plug wires on this engine yet.  | ||

Hey guys if nobody can tell you what the engine is in the pic, Why guess? | ||

I respectfully suggest that the plugs are located outside the "V". I see a polished wire channel on the right side of the engine with one wire exiting (the reflection makes it look like two). Jim S. | ||

I'm going to agree with Bob Snow on this one. It is obvious that the plugs are located inside the "V" and that the engine is equipped with twin distributors. 250 GT tipo 128D. | ||

Opps, I'm in trouble now. Sorry guys. I'll find out exactly what it is besides an early inside plug V12. Bob Norwood was building it out for someone. I thought early inside plug was enough detail. ;) | ||

Well Rob, you get everyone excited and you don't even know what it is... I think you owe us the true identity of the motor. | ||

Sorry, I was sleeping and forgot about this thread. Sounds like y'all know more than I do. I just know it's a very early inside plug V12. As far as the exact number I don't know. You guys are good! I was just looking for the identification of the inside plugs. | ||

If its not the Colombo V/12 then it must be a special engine. The only other one comes to mind is the Lampredi V/12. | ||
