This is a pull polished Lincoln V12 I just finished. It has a 3/4 cam and all the good parts.

That engine looks nice. Is the coil converted to 12 volts. With a 3/4 cam are you still using the hydraulic lifters. What year is the car the engine is going into.

Thanks

Yes it is 12V and no I am using hollow body adjustable lifters. It is going into a 1941 Lincoln.

Does anyone make 3/4 cams or regrind stock cams?

Sweet looking engine. If you get a video of it once it's installed and running, let us know.

Ol' Ron 06-07-2012 09:08 PM

Re: Flathead V12
 

Cam Techniques of sarasota Fl can do it. Ask For an L-100 short track cam. very popular among the street roddera.

Very nice, It's really a beautiful motor, It gave me some ideas, I'm building two of these right now in Tx, I'll post some pics when done, Thanks .

Re: Flathead V12
 

One thing I would like to ask, Did those headers come from someone or did you make them up ?

V12Bill 04-18-2015 03:53 PM

Re: Flathead V12
 

That engine would look GOOD in my Zephyr Convertible!! Was the cam ground to accept solid lifters? Yes those headers are different!!

Probably won't get an answer on this old thread but, did the dyno tell the torque at say 2000-3000 rpm compared to say a 276 V8? Thanks Walt
