    I am currently rebuilding an FF engine (x2 bent conrods) and considering if any other bellhousings from the Ferrari range might fit. I am guesing this might be a bit hopeful that some level of standardisation was adopted but its worth asking. A point in the direction of some dimensioned schematics of the front face of the bell housings would be a good first step. Thanks....

    An amazing and vey straightforward engine to work on :0) just need to find the right use for it or a new home once complete...

    Cheers

    Logically might something from any member of the F140 family fit ?

    Yes its from a 2012 FF they drove through some water sucked up some water bending a couple of conrods. I'll put up a couple of pictures later as the conrods are quite artistic.... Straight insurance swap out meant that the engine was for sale so thought why not. It has been really easy to work on (once I got all the right Torque settings from Ferrari..) It would be good to find a manual gearbox solution to go with it so looking at options.....

    Probably cheapest to have an adaptor plate made up. Then you can fit any trans you want to it...
