    Sorry, should have been a 4 piston / 12 cylinder engine.

    I used to be into Jags (not V12's, stayed with the sixes - MK2 3.8 and SIII 4.2) I was horrified when the boys talked about their V12's - the problems they had and the maintenance required. Complexity a bit worse than the VG30, but whatever you need to do on a VG30, you would do 5 times in the same period on a Jag.

    Is this engine going into the car that the AndyMac appeal helped purchase? Or have you got a another Zed Shell that this is going into? And what would be the plans for the Zed the engine goes into? Will it be turned into a Showcar or pretty much just stay as is (except for the fact it has a V12 in it...)

    Interesting how the compression ratio is so low for an NA production car. Guess that's why you picked that engine though... it was meant for you hehe
    btw... 4 Turbo's + V12= :) :) :)

    It will be going into the car that the appeal helped pay for.

    Won't be a show car...it will be different, but it will definately be functional...I'd like to really dominate at Warick 09

    Thats a dissapointing supprise :eek:
    I'd have thought it would have been higher :confused:

    is that measured at the crank or rear wheel ?

    with that sort of freakin engine i'd say the steeringwheel.

    I reckon you are taking your sweet arsed time however.
    honestly, no offence but who has the camera near buy to go "hey, i'm taking out a bolt, i'll take a picture."

    No, V12 out of the Toyota Century?... I would've thought that would have been an easier option, with the Getrag 6-Speed box from a Supra matched and all you'd need to do is shove the wiring in and turbos on.... I guess $$$ come in to it, but for relative ease... :confused: BUT if you thought about this option and it wasn't able to happen, then best of luck with the transplant :D

    Well Andy just happened to have a V12 hanging around, as you do :p It was originally purchased to go into a 3 series BMW, hence the beemer V12.

    Yeah it was going into this back in the day...

    [​IMG]

    Then I twisted the chassis and some major structural issues became apparent...like severly rusted rails and firewall.
