Default V16 LS engine availble with 900-2000 hp

Not sure if I just missed it on here, or if no one else has posted it yet.
Katech and XVI Power have been working on this. I assume the block is same as the engine katech built for the caddy 16 show car.

Given the $20-$50k price range of the V12 offerings -- I'd wager a marine-spec V16 to be in the $60-$90 range.

Since we're all guessing - have at it! It is interesting that no price is listed. I reckon if you have to ask....

There is a 69-72 Grand Prix that is begging for one of these.

I can see the possibility of a V12 fitting in the earlier cars at 8 inches longer and using the Corvette accessory drive. Maybe a 4L80E transmission? Plenty of torque available. Now if I only had an extra $100,000 lying around.

Given the huge length of it anyway....surely it wouldnt be too difficult just to create a coupling to join a pair of normal engines together, much like the tractor pull machines do ?
