I luv how aero engines are built not to fail. Look at those fuel lines, wiring etc! Beautiful work. :eek:

Then become an aircraft mechanic! Its a lot of fun and nothing like fussing with airplanes all the time!

Ferrari flat 12?

Looks like a 908, but not the distributors. And wasn't the 908 an MFI?

Probably a type 753 or 771. The F1 engine. That had a flat fan but the 908 had a vertical fan. The F1 engine also used carbs at least initially.

This one is in my GT40 that was featured in the Fast 5 movie:

the continental TSIO-550-C is a twin turbo/intercooled, injected, 6-cylinder, 550 cubic inch 310 hp engine weighing 420 lbs wet.

I am an A&P and yes, it is fun but this model in a Cessna 350 means you have to remove both intercoolers to change plugs. Annuals are around 2-3K on this aircraft.

Job security James... Try doing plugs on a twin or triple row radial engine then remember how that pays the bills at the end of the month!
