Ferrari 212 engine being tested on a stand

[heymynameistyler]

its clacking

[The42Petes]

please show video of your 914

[madjimms]

That engine looks smaller that most I4 engines! Very impressive!

[howsey182]

thumbs up if you want Chuck Noris to service it

[RawTranquility]

@howsey182 No.

[Fishstick620]

put that on a bike :)

[MrBear8900]

whats the power output on that?

[1ownjoo2]

wow thats a small engine lol

[noirtec9]

what kind of car has this in there?

[kitanimboy]

@noirtec9 A ferrari 212 :)

[psycophobia]

@noirtec9 i think a ferrari jeje

[IcechickenSr]

what a cute little little toy

[BeamRider100]

You could just about drop that in a motorbike by the looks of it.

[bokbok454]

Its so tiny!

[aftoyboy]

Kinda small for a v12... then again I've never had the pleasure of popping the hood on a ferarri let alone looking at one. LOL

[MrMargayracing]

I SAW THE CHAPARONE SHIRT ON HIM!¡!¡!¡!

This is my last resort

[cipollino1997]

0:15 YELLOW CAR! *punches in the face his cat*

[cgod241]

weird youtube

[moosiah]

when I worked at Megacycle I rebuilt about 30 Sets of rocker arms for these v12 engines..

[XxGearHead4547xX]

you know, we should put those engines in like little kids power wheels things and just let them have fun ya know?

[TheNWONOW]

OMG! Throw that in a 20ft bass boat bolted up to a huge jet pump!

[StopLookiing]

now thats a small engine!..

[Dionamuh]

This makes me happy.

[wks1978]

@jguerrerofrescotti Who in your opinion made this engine then?

[MegaLuckydog1]

a thing of beauty.

[zenosxr]

BRAVE man, NO supports I could see on the stand,, torque could have pulled it off into an aluminum crushing fall... Brave....

Also, trans looked empty of gearing, just using bell to hold starter?

[DungeonsHeroes]

8 people cant have ferrari xD

[Sarcasticscum]

@DungeonsHeroes

Ironic; nor can you!

[cooler671]

@DungeonsHeroes 11

[blondieatbirth23]

Are those vent tubes coming up from the oil pan? If so that's a pretty smart idea.

[thunderspeeds]

PISTON POWER DID IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[thunderspeeds]

DUDE!!!!!! That is not a TRUE 1710 V12 ALLISON. I WORK on THEM DAILY!!

[nascarnic]

SO SMALL!

[faffaflunkie]

Pretty dumb. The torque is going to make it twist and fly off the table. And an engine is far too heavy to catch by hand.

[JimTheFreak28]

cuz we all have random Ferrari motors sitting around lol



[leloodallasmultipass]

I hope you are going to put that in the 914, it's the only sensible thing to do.

[RaceBred83]

Sounds awesome :) . So tiny! I'm guessing 1500 maybe 2000cc displacement?

[saradawn6]

@RaceBred83 212 CI

[RaceBred83]

@saradawn6 That works out to 3474cc or just under 3.5 liters... smallish for a V12 but quite a bit larger than I was thinking. I know Ferrari produced V12 engines as small as 1500cc /1.5 liters. Why does it look so small?

[saradawn6]

@RaceBred83 Sorry about that, it's actually a 2.7L. Wrong engine :p That weights about 1000 lbs though.

[macgibbon]

@saradawn6 212 refers to the cc displacement of each cylinder.

[CadJack]

@RaceBred83 Looks like the 2.0 litre 150 horsepower motor after some research. ?

[58impalaz]

LOL wheres the rest of the ferrari?

[quicksilver2002SS]

I would'nt leave that engine lying around, someone can come buy and pick it up with one arm and take the battery with the other.

[ZeekWolfe1]

That engine looks small enough to put into a model airplane.

[gregstiles21]

put that on a honda, bet the bitch would fly

[f00tyfr33k]

test video 101: how to fuck up your nicely refurbished engine by blasting it before it has warmed through...... well played.... btw, you forgot the wheels?

[madjimms]

Holy crap its TINY! but it sounds pretty good!

[LolzMan7756]

sounds like a tractor xP

[hunter91585]

i found the motor i want in my go-kart!!

[MrLowAltitude]

European engines rock! =)

[TheAstraios]

pft you can get way more out of a litre then that. Just look at bikes. 150-200 hp from 1 litre depending on the manufacturer.

The major difference is the amount of torque. Straight hp isn't all important.

[30GB]

needs bigger headers and carb

[NesteHukka2]

Can anyone explain why the exhaust manifold have those branches on first and last cylinders on bank?

[CRAZYSTOO]

@NesteHukka2 it's just how the header was built. if you look at the 2nd and 4th headers they appear to "branch" further down too.

[1400IntruderVS]

nice 914 in background

[seenalotabs]

Where you not woried it may turn over from torque? I don't see any tiedown support.

[omfgwtfbbq90]

I found it really easy to masturbate to this

[armedziak]

I want it in my car :D

[NoiteraD]

Thats a sexy VW Porsche in the background you have there, that colors still fits it the best in my opinion

[Minus42Zero]

Do older Ferrari engines not have belts for water pump and alternator? Or are those run from the timing chains?

[1diesellover]

the motor looks small

[beatingyou01]

Is that tiny carb what originally fed that engine?

[minibikerider1]

its so cute lil thing

[catey62]

Wow,thats such a tiny engine,beautiful though

[bluejay148]

like the sound of that

[robiniroven]

how much would one of these cost?

[bubchronic]

I'm pretty sure it's the V12 engine from the Ferrari 125s. A 1.5 litre V12, yep. 125 is to denote the cylinder capacity, a common practice of naming Ferrari cars in that era, late 1940's erly 50's

[espdeangibson]

dear santa...

[Arabhacks]

What is being said is that the European engines, despite the smaller sizes, produce more actual horsepower, and this is true.

The American designs are saddled with emissions controls, but worse, all of the accessories now common.

In the average European car there may be a 55 amp alternator, all that is needed.

The American car will have an auto trans, power steering, power brakes, AC, and the list goes on.

All produce heat and are a constant load, limiting maximum output.

[wjrneo2]

@Arabhacks That is incorrect. Most if not all cars sold in Europe now have Power Steering, Power Brakes. Many cars include AC as a default option that you can remove for a credit. The only real difference is most European cars are built with a manual by default, and an automatic is optional.

As for engine displacement. Its the tradition to use the larger displacement engine that makes more torque and has a lower redline in the US. But we have our own mad HP engines per Cubic Inch.

[DeiviZZZ]

@wjrneo2 name 1 European car that has mad HP per cubic inch. cause as far as I know only japan cars has mad HP per cubic inch. not trolling just interested.

[wjrneo2]

@DeiviZZZ TVR Speed 6. 400hp, 4L straight 6 engine. 100hp per liter isn't a bad number. Its not as high as the Honda S2000's 120hp per liter, but 100hp a liter is respectable and higher than the average output.

Forced induction cars don't count. They have way more HP per liter than a n/a engine could normally attain.

GM built a Iron Duke engine from off the shelf parts. 272hp from a 2.5L inline 4 engine back in 1983. 108hp per liter out of a carbed OHV inline 4 engine.

[dwiggs77]

@wjrneo2 the 272 hp engine(SD4) was a 2.7L and was never available in a production vehicle. the parts were available to build one from gm but the production 2.5 L engine still only produced >100hp

[wjrneo2]

@dwiggs77 Then its still 100hp per liter out of a carbed inline 4.  While they weren't installed into a production car they were regularly available parts you could buy off the shelf.

[manofweed1]

@wjrneo2 What in the 1950's ??

[wjrneo2]

@manofweed1 Lambo Murcielago SV makes 661hp out of a 6.5L V12. Thats 101hp per liter.

100hp per liter is still impressive for a naturally aspirated engine. Technology keeps bumping it up, but why would anyone want that to stop.

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@wjrneo2 yet the camaros and mustangs where known to factually be running 160-190 hp.

this engine isn't for 250mph its for a veyr refined ride at 30-70 through the alps.

[wjrneo2]

@Crazybenjiwoo

Factually running 160 to 190hp as compared to what? Their factory HP rating? Year when produced? Your statement is half there, you are missing anything to compare it too.

You are taking the comment out of context. The comment wasn't about the Ferrari engine in the video, but in regards to the accessories affect on power output.

[wjrneo2]

@Crazybenjiwoo

Generation 3 small block V8's like the LS1 are rated at 320hp out of 5.7L. However a simple cam swap to a more aggressive cam and many of these 305hp engines start to make closer to 450hp. Go more aggressive with the cam and 500hp+ is possible. Recent US engines are typically under-cammed to keep the power in the lower revs, however the head flow and combustion efficiency is very high so they still make good usable power with baby sized cams. US emissions are insanely strict

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@wjrneo2 No one cares about hp to liter ratio. It's power to weight ratio that matters in the end.

[Alecks1990]

@wjrneo2 100 hp per liter is oke, but porsche build in 1962 a v8 with 3 liter and 370 hp, in 1969 a v12 with 4,5 and 520hp(5.4liter 1100 turbo hp 4years later) , i know that these 2 engines are racing engines but they are more then 50 years old ...

[wjrneo2]

@Alecks1990 I'm staying with production engines. The king of all Internal Combustion engines would be the Top Fuel Dragster engines that make about 1000hp per liter. Or if you want HP per cubic inches almost 16hp per cubic inch. The average TF Dragster has 8000hp or so.

[warmfreeze]

@wjrneo2 ive never seen a stock iron duke produce more then 110bhp..also iron dukes were pushrod engines and had a tendency of exploding at higher rpm..hence the cause of most 2m4 fieros bursting into flames..

[wjrneo2]

@warmfreeze Go research again. Fires in 1984 and subsequently fixed before the 1985 production year was attributed to low oil levels due to a mis-print on the dip stick saying capacity was 3qt instead of the actual 4.5qt capacity. The low oil levels caused a rods to break under aggressive driving, or if an owner let the oil get too low. This was fixed for 1985 and only affected 260 Fieros total. It wasn't a mechanical failure, but a typo.  Low oil levels would cause this failure in any car.

[aminimaleffort]

@wjrneo2

and which car had the 272 hp iron duke mr. bullshitter?

[wjrneo2]

@aminimaleffort

The engines could be purchased off the shelf when in production. Its called the SD4 program. Everything bolts together, GM built them, but never put them into production cars. However the 1984 Fiero Indy Pace car had this engine and so did the SuperBird prototype they built in 1982.  It made 272hp @ 7600rpm.

All off the shelf parts. And with the 3.2L block you could have a 320hp iron duke.

I don't know if the parts can still be purchased it was over 20 years ago now.

[agt155]

@wjrneo2 The stock mass produced BMW 3.2l of the early 90's had 321 bhp.

[andylaurel]

@wjrneo2

100hp per liter is a good, punchy, reliable output for an N/A engine.

[burritomaker69]

@wjrneo2 the s2000s engine sucks hahah. And the iron duke never came near 272hp hahaha they were closer to 100 and they were known for being pretty horrible engines in that they exploded.

[agt155]

@wjrneo2 All depends how high you want to rev. Bike engines easily kick out 200 bhp/l, but have no torque.

[silver760]

Nice motor,the pistons must be minute in that engine.The Jag V12 has egg cup size pistons and is a considerably bigger engine in overall size.What is the bore and stroke and on that motor?

[gordon5cc]

fuck that sounds sexy

[clifton559]

WHATS DRIPING OUT OF THE MOTER

[RedPolackMotors]

how much hp dose it produce ?

[73dnovak]

the amazing v-12 that ferrari made and kicked the shit out of Alfa Romeo. crazy gas mileage too.

[gaskan666]

that would work just right in my quad lol

[trendkill777]

sounds fantastic great video!

[ZeekWolfe1]

I don't know much about Ferraris, but that seems to be a pretty small engine for a V12.  Are they really that small or is this a miniature?

[chadro85]

@ZeekWolfe1 yeah there's bigger ones then this

[djcd4]

aus2045 is a pure dumbass for his lack of knowledge of the small block chevy 350.

[Shad0WTF]

0:04 is that a fckn porsche?

[blackjesusnation]

i wonder if that would fit on a bike.....

[A1Curt]

fuck those pussy ferrari moters chevy is better ameican

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

To everyone arguing over 350 vs this engine...It's all about power-to-weight and where you make torque. Ferrari's don't weigh as much as even the lightest Nova.

[lgman83]

yellow porsche 944 in tha back i c?

[Ingenusernamesledig2]

@lgman83 Nope... it´s a 914.

[boogdennard]

does anyone see the plugwires arcing

[yamahonkawazuki]

@boogdennard i didnt. what point in video? ( time) did you see this? id like to , but have watched through several times.

[wagdaddyandef9man]

@boogdennard I thought I saw something towards the very end of the video at the front of left bank? Is that what you're referring to?

[ericascaliboy]

@wagdaddyandef9man left head distributor...

[wagdaddyandef9man]

@ericascaliboy IF there's a belt drive system, it could be a little bit of light shining thru the wires and what we're seeing is the rotation of the belt. Hard to tell..

[ericascaliboy]

@wagdaddyandef9man and that is what it is... the white markings on the belt showing between the wires on the distributor as it spins... makes it LOOK like a spark but it's not... just lettin you know what boogdennard was referring to...

[Jamirofan89]

as they say: this is where the magic comes

[kolbpilot]

What year is this engine? Very cool piece of rare history. Interesting seeing a single carburetor, instead of the multiple set up.

[bjscruples]

I can never sort out why people are so bent on bashing something that's very cool. Even if you have a driveway full of Chevys, you should still be able to appreciate a slick V12 like this.

[5959512]

how much $?

[c243mx7tr]

Looks like they went for maximum power with one carb on top there

[gtmustang543]

i didnt know ferrari made a go-kart

[douro20]

These engines are so rare and so unique that most of the rebuild parts don't even exist. To rebuild one of these you have to blueprint it and have new parts machined at an enormous expense. It can cost over $100,000 to rebuild one of these engines.

[douro20]

How many rebuild parts had to be fabricated for this? (rebuild parts don't exist!)

[CharlesDeCapua]

smaller then my 305 small block chevy... can that little motor blow the tire off my car? nooo by the time i floor it with the motor, the pistons'll be like "oh hell no! this MF'er is out of his damn mind!!!"

[GeSchmidtt]

@CharlesDeCapua What do you want? A badge?

[CharlesDeCapua]

@GeSchmidtt hahahaha stupid ass comment

[stikmunkey]

LOL, "being started on a stand" - that's more like being started on a table redneck style! :)

[James1toknow]

sounds like a chevy small block!!

[chuckbear1961]

The Climax V 12`s little baby brother

[502apples]

@chuckbear1961 lol

[herbienbrian2]

stuff that in the 914 behind it! :D

[searcherboy]

@herbienbrian2 I was thinking the same thing.

[F0ckUtoob]

That's also because horsepower and torque are two different things, moron.

Which would you put into a 1 ton truck that pulls a 25ft trailer?

[jeepers2655]

put that little thing in my Accord......

[jaratt85]

damn they actually sound good without mufflers

[SCBianchi]

At least you can save money and buy dirt bike pistons... right???

[JscottK2006]

I think the 2.0l I-4 is bigger than that v-12

[ytrsyt]

how much is one of those engines?

[EVOVIIIARGT1300JR]

Damn i want it for my 1969 Alfa romeo gt1300jr stepnose. Should fit right in. ;-) how much ;-)

[az123456789999999990]

Is that a mini model or are they as this small? =)

[RobbyRaiAshtray1122]

I'd say dump the bugger into an old Alfa Romeo Veloce.

[HITHEREFOLKS]

KOOOOOL !!

[kennnmoran1]

Maybe a 'little jewel' Lampredi out of a very early 2lt Ferrari, well before the big road cars, 1955- 1960?

[R3MUS2007]

thats a tiny V12 O.o But it can still roar!

[andrewsuzukirider]

that's a small v 12

[Mooseboy240]

OMG I wish I could afford a ferrari motor but I wouldn't even know where to look for a gem like that

[Learnthethingsido]

Sounds like a V8 LOL!

[Warblade118]

Looks like a 12cly lawnmower engine to me. Sounds better than most V12’s.

[markdem]

single barrel carb? i thought they would have used a 4 barrel at least!

[pancakewafflebacon]

haha what is it's displacement? Engine on that thing is about the same as the 4cyl in my car lol

[BerriesMcGOO]

wow thats a small v12, 3 litre?

[Henzzman]

So small.Perfect fo a go kart or a bike.

[Jimmbo102]

that is tiny



[sackcheck]

lol, I was just thinking of how awesome it would be to put a V12 in a 914 instead of the typical V8, So I was just searching different V12's and came across yours. So did you install it yet?

[yamahonkawazuki]

@sackcheck i had the same thought for an rx7 convertible. BUT ferrari engines are pricy. i scored a maserati v8 out of a convertible, got the engine, trans, shifter mech and wiring at a decent price. but ferrari id like better. BUT that engine would be PRICY. so it stays in my wanna do list. but not on teh to do list yet

[181jose]

its a V8

[katskratchkustumz]

@181jose WRONG

[bradmann85]

@181jose actualy it is a v12. the exhaust pipes will tell ya. when you look at an engine count the sparkplugs or the exhaust pipes on the engine. some engines will trick you.

[pearsonbowhunter]

man i aint real shure what im seeing but it shure looks like u got wires arcing back and forth at the top of the motor to the end of the video on the right side of the motor. i think it might be your belt but u might wanna do a once over on them wires to make shure u have good fire to the plugs. it also kinda sounded like the timeing was slightly off idk alot about these motors im just saying.

[ismasamov55]

Italian Junk

[Ebdan88]

This Baby Runs Beautifully. I just love the Noise of it.........., but its to small for a Ferrari isnt it!!?

[everluik]

mini v 12

[AcaAllertor127]

WOAH thats a tiny engine...

[aus2045]

I am amazed at who small it is. Look at a small block chev 350, it is huge compared to that, but it only produces 10hp, this little gem would be pumping 300hp or so.

[ojoj626]

@aus2045 10 hp were you getting tat from? exagerating much?

[CMI1986X64]

@aus2045 10HP huh? why dont we be realistic and say for the price of this little ferarri motor i could build a SBC with 3x the power of this thing.

[alxcsb]

@aus2045 165 actually. But still, pretty nice, considering that it's almost 60 years old.

[845jdog]

@aus2045 are u on krack a small block chevy has way more horse than that

[Muhlineks]

@845jdog

SAE Horsepower maybe ;-) It only has to move a Ton not two like in a chevy. 

[JimBohabri]

@aus2045 But the chevy runs mile after mile, and takes place in a everyday car. And I dont think there is 90 000000 ferrari engines made, but the smallblocks are.

secondly, if you do those things to the 350 that is done to this engine at the factory it would probably produce more power then this.

[douro20]

@JimBohabri

And if it's built right you can get 500,000+ miles out of an N/A 350 tuned to 500bhp.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@aus2045 a little bit more than 10hp. but yes. love these tings. a work of art, that works. wish they werent so impossible to find. or buy parts for

[miamibitch305fl]

@aus2045 Your a fuckin retard this bitch ass engine does not produce 300 hp you fucking retard you have no clue about engines, and chevy 350ci 5.7liter is a better choice then a 2.1l V12 why do you think ferrari rev higher? dumbass

[fenix144]

@miamibitch305fl ''and chevy 350ci 5.7liter is a better choice then a 2.1l V12 why do you think ferrari rev higher?'' could you explain that part?

[PUREAAMERICAN]

@aus2045 Since when does a SBC only produce 10 hp try 350+? The Ferrari 212 produced >170 HP SAE / Gross which is the way these were rated back in the day and the SAE / Net HP rating used now would be much less. This is no comparison for a SBC. Even a GM Quad 4 is more powerful. Is this a cool engine, yes. But to compare this to an SBC is absurd.

[yamahawin37]

@aus2045 Agreed, but also you have to realize is overhead cam, 4 valve engines really flow and produce a lot better power than a push rod engine. Also they are quite a bit more expensive.

[tias88]

@aus2045 Thats because europeans are efficient and americans.. well they're not

[wyrazowfkp]

@tias88 Well , you're simply wrong ...
