Default V12 project finished

DSCN3760.jpg I took my v12 to a swap meet for the first time to show off this weekend. this weekend. drew a big crowd, makes a lot of noise. Was a lot of fun to stand back, and listen to people try to figure out how I put the two engines together.

That is so cool! Glad you got one out showing and running! I would dig a video of it running!

Thanks for the update.

It weighs more than a VW!!

I offered to put one of my 305's in a GMC S10 Blazer. To replace a 2.8 v6. The owner told me, if it fit... do it.

It would have killed the S10.

Can't find the picture I had of the 305 sitting next to the Blazer and the 2.8

It needs to go into one of the rear engine (RM series) chassis, and leave the body off...just the front seat, dash and steering column. Then, with so much weight in the rear, you could do wheelies!
