Ferrari 250 GT

An engine out of a LWB California Spyder dyno tested for another shop. Sorry, but not much tech detail available. It is included here to provide a contrast to the later 250 engines. This is an early, inside plug engine that was well built, but compared to the later 250 engines with outside plugs and better heads, these engines were weak. Just look at the torque numbers. The factory claimed 260 HP at 7000 rpm; Fantasy Land, in my humble opinion.
