V12 LS1 Build
I could care less about the longevity or logistics of making this a lasting motor, that's for the automakers to worry about, I'm just interested in hearing it run. I don't care if it lasts for 10 minutes, lol.
I love the thinking outside the box on this and getting it done. Kudos.

Very cool. Is the highlighted cylinder going to receive proper cooling? Also, is there a chance of improper heat consistency over the entire block causing expansion/contraction at different rates in different spots? I don't know too much about tolerances and I'm assuming that it probably is minimal/not an issue, but just something that grabbed my attention.
Got to see a Motus bike at the Washington International Bike show a few years ago. Sweet bike, not fond of the saddle bags but sweet engine.
Man the expected price of their bikes are 30,975 and 36,975. I love American vehicles but jesus christ that is alot of money for a bike. http://www.motusmotorcycles.com/

I just installed a LS4 drivetrain in my Diablo Roadster kit car.

I was building a reverse rotation (installed/not engine running backwards) LS with a th425 with a Chevy Colorado front 4x4 diff but I decided to just go the easy route with the LS4.

A LS V12 would be badass in my car;

Awesome build!
Please make a video walk around. It would certainly put to rest those skeptics (myself included).
Also, why v12? It seems like v16 would be 100 times easier. You could leave the heads alone and just weld up the blocks. Also the head gaskets wouldn't have to cross your welds, which seems like a giant flaw in your design now. Are you planning on re-machining the entire head gasket surfaces on the block and heads?

What's there to be skeptical about? After the vid, people are gonna claim it's digitally enhanced and still don't have real proof of its existence or some bs. And now they need to see it in person or something crazy.
pretty crazy , ive helped out with a guy that used to run el mirage and bonneville , he went the easy way of building a V4 hemi , he just made counter weights for the crank , and could swap back to a V8 in a couple hours to change classes
Very nice work was done to acomplish this.
