    The primary design feature of the Lampredi motors was that they had cylinder liners screwed into the heads and the Colombo had liners slipped into the block with a conventional head gasket. There were other differences, none of which would apply to a Daytona or 412 motor. Your motor is a decendant of the Colombo.

    The 412 is the last of the Colombo based engines. Note: it is loosely based on Colombo's designs.
