Ferrari 365/5.0 2-Cam Competition

This engine is another iteration of the previous 330/365 racing engine. We started with a fresh 365 core engine and made all of the custom parts (oil pan, water pump/inlet, etc.) to match the previous engine. The injection manifold and headers were used from the other engine. A new and higher capacity Lucas injection system was sourced for this project. Additionally, a different cam profile was used to take advantage of the larger displacement. The result is probably a world record power number for a normally aspirated Ferrari 2-cam engine.
