Used Ferrari 550 Maranello V12 Engine For Sale on eBay

We’re pretty sure that people who are crazy enough to do an engine swap don’t have the kind of money needed here, but there might be a Cleatus somewhere who’s sold some land or his sister and want to do somethin’ special to his truck.

Right mister Cleatus, what you have here is the 5.5-liter V12 from a 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello, a two-door GT car from back in the day. The seller wants $16,999 plus shipping for the lump which has already done 9,000 miles. We’d suggest offering him $5,000 and a pig, because we’re talking about a 12-year old lump of steel.

Maximum power (when it was new!) for the V12 is 485 hp at 7,000 rpm, while compression ratio is 10.8:1. The cylinder block, head, and oil sump are light alloy. The damp press-fitted aluminum cylinder liners are of Nikasil. If mr. Cleatus or anybody else is interested in the lump, feel free to bid at the following eBay auction.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
