[DeTomaso] DeTomaso purchased by ATS

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

And the name “Boxer” is from a fighter throwing punches. A left then a right
(1,2) much the same as the pistons are firing.

 

Larry (one and a two) – Cleveland

A boxer engine has opposing pairs of cylinders, and each pair is on a pair
of crank pins (big-ends) that are 180° out of phase, so that the two pistons
of the pair reach Top Dead Center (TDC) simultaneously.

 

A 180 degree V engine has one crank pin per pair of cylinders (like all V
engines), so the two pistons will reach TDC 180° apart.

Not to nit pick but Ferrari never had boxer engines, they were 180 degree
V12s

 

I'm sure this has been covered before, but what constitutes the difference
between the two. Thanks, Jeff
