I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
lvferraripilot: I have to give credit to Carobu Engineering in Costa Mesa, Ca for the rebuild. They build race motors for the Historics racing crowd.
@Telerding If I remember right, this is the Daytona engine Carobu built while using stock cams only upgrading the pistons and compression ratio. Impressive stuff
414bhp from a 4.4L non-racing naturally aspirated street engine is highly respectable even by today's standards. Grats guys. I know in full race trim these things can yield 500+. Let's name all the American and Japanese engines that have done this with this size displacement without a turbo, oh wait.........
What a fantastic sound! :-D I've only had the privilege of hearing a "Daytona" engine (Type 251, in "Ferrari-speak") in-person *twice*, and this recording does a great job of capturing that awe-inspiring V-12 snarl! (I'm listening through a really good set of headphones) Can you imagine what the SFX would be like if these had *four* valves per cylinder? :-)LOL! The only other engine sound that even comes close is a Lamborghini Murcielago (which is deeper and "burbles" more).
How much frustration there is in some! Really? where are the double carbs or the extended manifolds of the jag V12? And what's this???!!! Dual camshafts per bank on a jag V12??? Wow, that's really something!
Go take care of your toyota corola diesel, loser!
Nice rebuild, sir... I'm gathering courage to venture into a 365 GT4 2+2 myself:)

Holy shit. Didn't Ferrari themselves say the 365 "Daytona" had 352hp? This one is tuned?
Racing 365's had around 400hp.

What's the dyno response ?

Not exactly sure what you mean. The max horsepower was 415, and the max torque was 322 ft lbs.

to Telerding - thx for your reply - just what I wanted to know - congrats!

You apparently knew exactly what he meant - is the smarm strictly necessary?
Way to uphold a stereotype.
