The last mystery was knowing that parts to my stalk switches were missing, but I didn't know what to look for. Posting here got pictures of the missing parts and I was able to locate them once I knew what I was looking for. I'm hoping for similar support now.
After spending some time sorting out the nuts, bolts and small parts, I ended up with a number of mystery parts.
1. Stand-off for the fuse panel cover?
2. Large flat washer, thick with one surface larger than the other. 8mm hole x 35mm OD on one side and 30mm on the other.
3. Bushing with flat pointed cap, hole in pointed tip of cap, 12mm ID.
4. Philips screw, only one like it, probably not Ferrari as seems to be 1/4"x28 threads/in.
5. Large bolt with long shoulder, very fine thread, 14mm x1.0mm pitch x 50mm long.
6. Bolt with shoulder, 8mm x 1.0mm pitch x 16mm long.
7. Locking tab, round center hole w/o D-shape or index, 8mm hole.
8. Large locking tab, 18mm hole.
9. Ball for ball and socket joint, 5mm threads.
10. Small green O-ring.
11. Clevis pin, 8mm x 16mm.
12. Circlip, 23mm OD.
13. Bolt with a nut that is partially sliced through, possibly to act as a locking nut? 6mm x 20mm.
14. Brass cap with clip, possibly end or inside of a spark plug terminal?
15. Small knurled nut, 4mm thread.
16. 2 piece metal pin with rubber seal, some part of the brake system?
17. Nut with a large washer as part of it, 8mm x 1.25mm thread.
18. Small spring, 15mm OD x 15mm long.
Hey Tom,
If they were easy, I would probably know what they are for.
Here's a couple more to ponder on:
The left item is a water pump, with 201916 cast on the body. It mounts with three studs and has a Zerk grease fitting to grease it. The other is some sort of a rubber mounting bracket.
Did you get these out of your belly pan? When I removed mine I found all sorts of stuff like this. The one part that was important was part of the mechanical tach drive. With the part from the belly pan and a part from my 1960 Mercedes instrument cluster I was able to get it repaired.
Fun stuff!
Today if it stops raining I am going to set the roughly assembled motor back down in the car for shipping.
I have been pondering aquiring a not too expensive Ferrari project car....mabe one of those 308 2+2 Bertrones. Anybody know of a project out there like that? I woud want something rust free and needing mechanical and cosmetic TLC.

I don't know, the car came to me in pieces.

One trick on shipping a car in parts is to not actually bolt the engine in. Instead, get some heavy duty plastic wire ties (from the electrical department in Home Depot) and just run those through the holes in the block and chassis. Much faster and they'll be easier to remove at the far end.
Thanks for the tip. I suspect in my case I can just put in the bolts as quick as going to get the heavy straps.
Thanks for the thought. I am into saving any time I can but I do want to be sure when the boat rocks the engine can't roll into anything that will cause any damage.
I was able to get in the original bolts with no fuss and it only took about ten minutes so it worked out as well as could be expected.
I got the engine down in the car and drained the gas tank. It turned out to be less than half full which was a pleasant surprise because I thought there would be over 30 gallons!
