The V4 is equally as badass as the V12

As radical as the V12 is, I can't stop thinking about how cool a turbo charged, large displacement, 3.5+ liter V4 would be.

I think the V4 is cute. Wonder if I could fit it on a lawn tractor.

Not living in the west anymore but I do remember a small plane builder from that area.
Just make sure the batteries don't overheat.

Holy Batshit, Spongebob. That looks like some incredible machining and welding skills there. I used to work for C.J. Batten, Batten Heads

That should fit the 240 with no problems. There's a Jag V12 swapped one on HybridZ.

In for the V4. I can see that fitting in so many awesome cars.

V4 should have a lot of potential for weight saving and boosting it up. There is no doubt they could work in gocarts, motorcycles and lawnmowers

Thanks for the vid. You just need to put this thing on a run stand, and tour the country with it.

Its the stock oiling and cooling systems adequate for the v12?

Speaking of which, how do you mate the oil galleys when you merge the two blocks together?

The incredible Bob and Paula Gage, and Gaines Markley, among others.

Thank you for noticing the welding, but that's probably not me. It's just a couple of guys working out of our garage, we had to downsize for a while. Hopefully we'll be back to something bigger soon enough.

Nobody has threatened me with enough money on that one, yet.

How much you got?

It has been. Didn't seem to run any different than an LS1. But we used stock everything. Obviously you'd have to upgrade it according to what power levels you were looking at.
