No, it was a bespoke block, all one piece. Cast in Modena, but not Ferrari.

Crank was two piece, counter rotating and a pinion gear set in the middle that send the power out the side of the block. Thus the T designation of the V16T.

8 camshafts, all going different directions (it seemed)

4 heads.

Sounded awesome.

Didn’t they use two Ferrari engines worth of parts to create it? The crank would’ve been one piece, but I seem to remember the cams would’ve been connected together to make one long one...

Whatever happened to Claudio?

The year before he brought out the Cizeta we talked at Monterey for about 6 hours. He was so stoked about that project, telling me about the motor. When he brought it to Monterey he was like a kid. He saw me coming to see the car and almost ran over saying "it's here! it's HERE!". I have a lot of pictures and videos of the car still. That transverse V16 had quite a sound. Very interesting internal configuration. I'd have hated to be the guy who had to the cam grind with half the motor counter-rotating.

Apologies for continuing the Ferrari content here but this was a fun article.

Sammy Hagar talks about his 512BBi and how it was at Zampoli’s (Cizeta) when Eddie Van Halen was there.
