The Engine in question is a Z11 bit is is a MarkI not a Mark II. Its a W based 409 with a bigger stroke crank in it. You can actually machine a 454 crank to fit in a 409.

There is probably only one such plane in Norway with an engine built by a guy from Seatle area. Norway is rather small with a pop of 5 million people, so unlikely to be another with exactly that spec and unknown to the people tinkering with suchlike. I am sorry to say it leaks everywhere and is considered scrap. To be replaced with another engine.

Wow, just when you think you've seen it all... Think about all those kit car Lamborghini replicas that could actually have a v 12 in it now instead of a v8. Pure art, nice job.

We've been steadily working on the intake manifold. The manifold plates are utilizing stock port sizes and are blended in to become velocity stacks.
Also we started on the valve covers. We were debating on making them from scratch and engraving something on them, but this just gets it done sooner.
We are almost done with all the fab work. After fab comes paint!

Brian Macy figured we could push the V4 to around 325-350 horse with some head work, cam, and a decent size turbo
We're going to focus on the V4 after we get the 12 done
