For the gear-heads out there, this should creme your pants. Bonus points if you can identify what car and manufacturer this engine is for.
Hint: Makes over 650 hp above 7,500 rpm and is a production engine/car.
Viper.........?

Looks Italian to me. I am going to guess Maserati car and a Ferrari built engine. But been wrong before. Nice picture and work though. Did you take the picture? Are you working on it?
And what is up with the time-lapse arms?
Ferrari FF?? Not so sure but the timing gears make me think Ferrari v12 =P
And Why are the cam gears flipped on the drivers side?

Pretty close! It is a Ferrari Enzo motor. They were loosely used in Maserati's but only in the pedestrian 400 hp form.
A friend through my car travels works at a Ferrari dealership and sometimes posts nuggets of gold.
Incorrect. They used this engine in the Maserati MC12 (basically an Enzo with a different body kit) with a couple less horsepower, 630.
They also use the F430 engine in several configurations in different Maserati models with between 405 and 450 horsepower (it has 490-510 in the F430).
gr. Dave <--- reads too many car magazines.
I had excluded the 20 or so MC-12's that were built as they weren't "production" for all intensive purposes.
The valve-train and internals for the F430's are so vastly different (as is the drive-train) that I the motors are basically distant cousins in the same light that the base lancer and lancer evolution are not the same car.
Poor Maserati, they are like the 6 cylinder Mustang's of the 60's when compared to their big brothers with the 5.0 V8.
I didn't recognize the engine but did the Sears Craftsman screw drivers on the bench.
No, you specifically spoke of the (V12) Enzo engine being used in a 400hp form in Maserati's and that is simply not correct.
Sure they also used the V8 engine from the F430 in 400hp form but that is a completely different engine.
The total production for the MC12 was 50 plus 5 race cars.
