Re: FTAO LSXers
I love that it exists, and the engineering is fascinating. But I can’t really see the point when the LS is capable of so much power anyway for far less money.

Re: FTAO LSXers
Why bother with a v12 when you could just jbweld two together for a v16?

Re: FTAO LSXers
What he said, if it's a V12 you want there are objectively better ones more readily available than that. The appeal of the LS is that it's cheap and strong.NotoriousREV wrote: Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:44 am I love that it exists, and the engineering is fascinating.

An absolute unit
Re: FTAO LSXers
But this is a bigger FO V12! 
750hp from an na V12 for US$55k sounds good to me!
Dimensionally I wonder how it compares to other V12s out there, pushrod cams do make for a very small footprint.

Re: FTAO LSXers
You can get a 750hp LS7 SB4 for $32k, if you insist on staying NA. Or you could easily put together a 1000hp super/turbocharged LS for under $10k. Plus the V8 will fit in far more places.

Re: FTAO LSXers
Very true but if you're trying to use logic to talk me of liking a nine litre V12 you've come to the wrong place
Also the SB4 is TWO INCHES WIDER!1!! than a standard CSB. TWO!1!!

Have a look at there other vids and see the prototype '12
