Longblock is officially done. Deciding what we're going to do with the fuel system and then we'll have a runner.

I've seen some LS guys plumb each cyl head with braided lines and fittings so that the coolant is more equally distributed into the heads. it's typically a race only mod but I agree with a v12 it might be a really good idea.

for the work and $$ spent on this little puppy it would be worth it and not overly hard to do.

Default V12 ls cyl.head

Hi... I'm building a 300 ci Ford 6 cyl. motor. I need to know how much it would cost to weld together the ls cyl. Heads to make a 6 cyl. Head. Someone's done this swap before but they epoxied the heads together and it leaked water
If I send you the 2 heads cut already a little long can you finish machine them to length and weld them together. How much would it cost ? Thanks Jack

Have you kept track of a total cost and time involved?

This would be epic with 4" bore and the 3.268" stroke from the 4.8L and with 6.46" rods......

I guess the engine would have realistic capacities ranging from 8L to 11L depending on bore, deck height, and stroke combo?

An LS3-12 would become a 9.3 - YES PLEASE

Let me know if anyone is interested in a 1 piece V12 LS camshaft. We...Camshaft machine company can build it to any spec/ timing and lobe profile you need!

Yes I am interested in a 1 piece LS V12 cam. Also a crank. At this time, I am still in the planning stages of the project and I'm trying to gather all resources needed to do the build. The 2 greatest obstacles a can foresee would be the cam and crank. So yes I am interested if you could provide some more info! I'm in CA, BTW.
