interesting stuff.

the fact that putting the crazy 60 degree six into a normal resonance of v12..always interesting.

I learned about that engine in the military, they were having a goal to make gas be as robust as diesel. of course that is ridiculous..

but that is an awesome thing to preserve.
as most engine gurus know, a v6 is never correct at the crank..
the photo of the v12 version, they really can get a good price from the right person. making a 12 out of the crazy 6 even took a good (proper) crank.

I dont need 5, but in my mind I "need" one of them. Wonder what they used them for? some kind of mobile powerplant?

Ill take one with Flannel valvecovers for my 64, Or a 409.

twin six
2 305s in one box

industrial and stuff like fire trucks.

I had a couple of the V6 engines, sold it all for $150. I guess scrap metal is worth more in Kansas.

The guy at Thunder V12 will probably buy them all.

I could use 3 of the cranks for my Deltic project and go with a monster 18cylinder vs. the 9 I have planned. However that would probably make it locomotive vs. automotive sized again.

I want the 401 Magnum V6 to play with.

I want the 20,000 and he can keep the water pump mills. YIKES. Sorry - but YIKES I say. There are still a bunch of 392 hemi's on water pumps around, are they worth 4k a piece?

As a V12 is two inline sixes, and an inline six is inherently balanced if using a normal crank, an interesting consequence is that a V12 will be balanced no matter what the angle of the V is. A 60 degree V6 would have balance issues you would not see on a 60 degree V12, and you could even build a V12 with some crazy angle like 73 degrees and keep it balanced.

Who would want an engine that can barely make 300 hp and weighs close to 1200 lbs?

Torque?

Torque?

I'm sure they make great torque, but with their weight you might as well get a Detroit diesel from a dump truck.

They are an interesting part of automotive history, but not very useful.

True.. They'd make an awfully long hood in a rat rod.. Be unque at least..

Sounds like pretty much every 460 Ford I have ever seen...
