I have a perfect chassis in mind for this.

meh if you’re going to go V12, take it to the max with a 37 liter Rolls Royce Griffon:

Buick Roadmaster wagon?

That isn’t down the road from me for $350 (which really means $250)

$350? Talk him down and buy it if you need it. They make great coffee table bases.

Please do this.

As fantastic of an idea as that is, it’s a no. I was thinking maybe an S2000. Or perhaps a Miata.

Miata swap? Miata swap.

How about instead of a swap, put the V12 in the back and leave the LT up front?

Why. Why would you do this.

Fun fact: That 5.3L v12 makes the same BHP as the 2.2L 4pot in the AP2 sk2.

Yes. But then you have a V12.

True.

And roughly twice the torque over the entire rev range.

You need the equipment to take this to 7.0 or beyond. If a professional race team can do it, clearly you can too!

Actually in all seriousness somebody needs to smash the 7.4L displacement record for these.

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > SidewaysOnDirt still misses Bowie 05/02/2016 at 15:55

V12 on two wheels ala boss hoss?

Daily Drives a Dragon - One Last Lap > aberson Bresident of the FullyAssed Committe 05/02/2016 at 15:55

Which is so nice. And fancy.

Better off with Two Duratecs. Much more reliable and built ford tough :)

Or you could always import a JDM Toyota Century V12. Too bad they never offered a V12 LS

Wouldn’t just be easier to stick a seat on top and wheels underneath the engine?

V12 motorized barstool. You’re a genius.

Because 50/50 weight distribution...?

But at that point, why not just a twin engined tube frame car?

Every once and a while a good idea kicks loose and falls out of my head.

I’m more interested in that siren next to it...

looks like a Castle Castings siren. probably 10/12 port.

Anything is possible, I’m sure you could fit a gallon of gas somewhere...

I have actually thought about the Century V12. It’s nice, but it’s so low production and niche market that i’ll never find parts for it. Half of the Jag V12 is Jag AJ6, so parts and mods are easy to come by. Want a DOHC V12? Pick up a couple of AJ6 DOHC heads and bolt em on!

Thinking about it. I just don’t know if I want this tank taking up space in my workshop simply so I can say I have a V12, so I can “donate” it to the right LeMons team, or to turn into a 300 lb table.

Haha, I would keep it small displacement, get high-comp pistons, and switch it to AJ6 DOHC heads tor dem high revs.

I think a coffe table à la top gear would be great.
