[Lumps!] New V12

Lumps

Wouldn’t be neat if folks didn’t have to use those nasty Chevy V8s to
repower Jags? It would be even neater if we could repower Jags using a
more-powerful V12 engines.

Here’s a link to a very efficient V12 engine that would make a great
powerplant for converted Jags:

Note that this motor makes its max power at low rpm, so smoothness of
operation is assured. Now all we have to do is to convince John’s Cars to
make up a kit for this thoroughly-modern motor, hopefully with a radiator
that can cool the beast . . .

Gregory,

So, do they call that, “Gulliver’s V12”?
That thing is enormous. Might have a little issue with hood clearance :slight_smile:

That is one amazing engine.

Does anyone know if you can get a low profile sump for it to clear the
crossmember?

Also if put on the standard BW box is it likely to need an additional
oil cooler?

Finally with the standard air filters for the twin SU setup work okay
with it?
