Re: An old man's journey with GMC 702 V12s

One thing I stress when talking with people notfamiliar with them. THEY ARE NOT A "HOT ROD" MOTOR. They were built to be a working engine, with an enormous torque.
With the now shortage of parts, If you break it, there's a chance it may not run again.
My ramble today for this post.

I can almost always tell when someone has no idea what they are talking about when it comes to these motors. Usually when they comment on what great racing motors they are. Had a guy out to my place a couple years back who insisted that the v12s were good for racing. Uh..huh... go ahead, push those high rpms... let me get back though so I don't get hit with the fallout!
I'd love to have the energy and shop space (and the v12 of course) to modify one of my trucks. Like maybe the 4000 series I have sitting here with an empty engine compartment.
