I think the "Name" on the engine is the "litigation" point here.
Many different car companies have used Ferrari engines (all with the permission of Ferrari). The latest use I am aware of is in the Maserati. They have slightly less power than their Ferrari relatives. And NO NAMES on the engine... I'm still a proponent of "Red Barn" where the "Ferrari" monikers are. And I'd stop using the Ferrari name all together... All of the kit builders who made replicas FOR SALE got sued by Ferrari. Miami Vice started this crap. I want a 57 Teste Rossa. I will never be able to afford a real one. If I ever build one, I will build ONLY 1 and it will never be "for sale". I will NOT call it anything close to the correct name. As it will be 20% bigger than a real one and will have a slightly different shape, I might get away with it... Many real Ferraris of that vintage ended up with other manufactures engines in them as the Ferrari parts were un-obtainium. Ferrari didn't sue those owners... |

Some fab stuff, a bit about the Haltech software and getting started on wiring. Then an update to the jack contraption that some of you have asked about.

Speaking of dimple dies, I just came across the below Youtube video of a poor-man's flow-forming method that I thought was really cool.
One could also assemble the guide dies right on a panel in a car and add beading in any fashion to stiffen structures. Get your guide dies from send-cut-send https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QgRs09NvBw In car you'd probably need a big piece of wood for a bucking element. |

I get it now. Herding the kitties was just a prelude to organizing the engine harness.
Yowsa! |

Halltech Elite 2500 was threatening to look at when I first opened all of the boxes. Their detailed illustrations, instructions, every cable + connector marked, and some assistance from our engine builder LB Bros. Porting made it a lot easier !
This ecu layout in picture is just for engine management; basic (custom made) main chassis wiring harness not shown, it's already been pulled through the bulkhead. I was also lucky enough to meet up with Ben Horton a Halltech technician from Oz, that just happened to be in SoCal for a few weeks. He brought his magic briefcase, laptop and ecu tools... which we made several corrections to my set up. Amazing customer service ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/marty914.jpg)  |

RE- Analog gauges, or custom LCD gauges if you choose.
Arduino with a Canbus hat. You can break apart the canbus data, then output to analog gauges with the signal they need to read correctly. Or if you want custom digital gauges, add a raspberry pi and compatible LCD display. Or you can use this for a data display. |
