Ferrari BB512LM
This engine came from another shop as a long block and we had to add the correct Lucas mechanical injection and other ancillary parts to create a running BBLM race engine. This engine has been converted to a BBLM engine from a street 512 BBi core engine. The cam selection and the head porting choices for this application didn’t impress us and the power shows that. For comparison the factory quoted 480 HP at 7,200 rpm.
