360 How to tell what came with the car from the factory

one of the ways of telling if the engine has never been removed or not is too remove the LH and RH panels inside the engine bay. Then you'll see the fuel tanks.

alongside the inner edge of the fuel tank (towards the engine), there's a big harness. The harness is secured by a few zip ties to the its surroundings. The zip ties are distinctively different from the usual ones we see in shops. If those ties are run-of-the-mill ones you see everywhere , that usually means the engine has been removed.

PLease note that "engine removed" doesn't mean "engine replaced". Maybe its an engine out job of sorts. But you get the picture.
Please note i said "usually" because it is possible that the engine wasn't replaced and the zip ties are just replaced with usual ones, but its not too probable.
Please note that it is also possible that the zip ties are original and the engine was removed/replaced, but again, its not too probable. reason is that when you remove the engine, this harness would have been removed. It is possible to not to remove the harness to remove the engine but that will require a hell bigger hassle than removing it.

go to a dealer, and they'll use their computer to tell u what were the originally equipped.

 

Have your local Ferrari dealer print out a build sheet or option sheet from MODIS. That will give you most of the information you need. The original engine number will be in the warranty book, if that comes with the car.

 

The my.ferrari.com portal has some detail about the car including interior and exterior colours and options

 

Dang, I knew I did something wrong when I removed my engine
Old school I guess, I disconnected every connector at the engine. But on the brighter side I got a lot more knowledge of my car. Ferrari uses the same connector on different parts of the engine so THERE is NO way to confuse which one goes where!! LOL!!

 

now I know how to do oldschool LOL
