Evidently that is supposed to go in a Datsun 240z....freakin bonkers.

That's kinda old now. That shop has done some awesome stuff with LS blocks, including a V4.

Was going to say the same thing. Bunch of talented mother fuckers that work there!

Agreed. The pics and explanations on joining the head and block sections together was mind blowing.

 

[Ti28]

Shit the block and head is the easy shit. It's the cranks that make my jaw hit the floor.

There's a shop that's been around for a few years now, that has been making these. I'll try and dig up an old thread or video, I believe there is a video of one running.

This thing running yet? Seems like it's been about a year since this first made the rounds.

 

[Primalzer]

It's been almost exactly a year was looking at the old articles, and they are all around May 7th, 2013

 

[Spivitz]

That is insanely cool

 

[guspech750]

That is awesomely awesome!

Kinda like the old Falconer v12's

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I really like the V4 built from the left overs.

But with the V12s I thought they just joined the two cranks, and not actually had a proper V12 firing order.

I don't think it does but there's lots of engines with uneven firing intervals. 90° V6s, Viper V10, Triton V10

there would be no way in hell anyone would trust a joined crank in there I would have to guess that is a custom crank.
and I bet with the money they spent on the block they have enough money to spend on an internal balance even fire crank with everything acting as 2 inline6's

I know I sure as f*** wouldnt wanna do anything other than a custom crank on a v12 Buick

So when are we welding the 442's motors together and adding 4 turbos?

GM made a 16 cylinder ls motor for the Cadillac sixteen concept car. I wonder what happened to that.

Last I heard they were just welding parts of two LS1 cranks together. Making for a very scary possibility.

For all they put into that, a V12 crank should have been designed and ordered. If they can make a flatplane crank for a LSx engine, then someone can design a V12 crank.

This has been floating around the web for years now with nothing other then a couple pics. No vids no nothing. Guess it never worked out...

 

[SHARKBITEATTACK]

here's a pic of me at the corvette museum next to the ZR12 that used the falconer v12 cylinder that was based off a Chevy small block.
