Default LS based V-12!

Pretty interesting concept:

I wonder how the torque numbers would compare to a built standard LSx engine.

Wow, That would be a torque monster and light. Wonder if it could take the marine punishment?

That's awesome, but he needs to change the firing order and get a billet crank.

I saw that, looks awesome. And supposedly they want to put it in a 240Z chassis. I want one.

Already been done over 10 years ago, but we did a V16.

Katech was among the first real innovators with the LS based motor back in the day if I remember correctly. I haven't followed LS motors in a while. I used to race around in a '99 Trans Am back from '99 until 2004ish.

Adrian, you guy's build some killer engines. Always loved the early IROC's too.


This is FALCONER's V16 He's been building since 1990 = $65K
