I keep seeing V4 in a bike, I'm thinking that thing would be a party in a shifter cart.

You can see more pics of the dyno and this engine on my facebook: Brian Macy

I am working on a cheaper solution for EFI with this combo, have come up with something already that will work.
Could you possibly post a link, I can't seem to find it...

Brian never responded when I asked for contact info. Went with a TT LS instead.

You should call up FAST and have them melt you an intake. That stocker put together will probably starve a few cylinders

This thread has gotten attention on FoxNews. I have seen it reposted on Facebook more times than I can count in my news feeds. Great stuff. Really interested to see how this goes.

I would lke to ask one question. For all the time and trouble to build a V12, have you given any consideration to building a V16? I was wondering if it would be any easier to do a V16 rather than a V12.

I bet the Water Jacket and other clearances would be the biggest obstacle with that.
