Re: Ferrari 288 GTO Engine, Tipo F114 B. 1/4.
Hello,
Thank you!
I couldn’t have left this marvel in the stash without building it!!
I did some work on the alternator.
All the threads are made, the studs and other threaded rods put to the right length, the parts separated from their supports and prepared...
The cables will be added to the lugs and terminals as soon as the painting is done.
Everything is tested to validate this sub assy and move on to another... or to painting.
Here are some pictures.
Here.
Next soon.
Pascal

Great to be able to follow along.
This is one of those kits i almost bought even though the subject doesn’t immediately appeal. So much care has gone into the design.
Enjoy!!

Re: Ferrari 288 GTO Engine, Tipo F114 B. 1/4.
Good evening,
Thank you!
The assembly or rather the preparatory work continues.
This part of the kit, the intake, needs a bit of work.
It is necessary to be very careful to remove the part from the tree, to remove their imprint...
It's not a 45 DCOE, but it's WEBER!

Re: Ferrari 288 GTO Engine, Tipo F114 B. 1/4.
Good evening,
The engine stand is progressing quietly.
The base is made of 4 square section tubes. They are welded to ensure more solidity.
The sturdy pieces are cut and bent to give them their final shape.
They will also be welded to the base.
The bends are now welded.
They are temporarily held on the structure with the Speed tape to give an idea.
The wheels will soon be assembled.
The sequel very soon.

Re: Ferrari 288 GTO Engine, Tipo F114 B. 1/4.
Good evening,
Adjustments and other blank assemblies continue.
The crankcase is installed on the block and equipped with some machined parts, the block with studs and bolts.
Tightening all nuts will remove all play/gap.
The engine mounts are also bolted.
The back of the block is positioned.
The engine is then positioned on its stand to adjust the dimensions and permanently weld the side and front supports.
More soon.
