Nice job Mike the block looks to be a 1946 to 1948 which were the better one to use on the V12. How about the V12 next to that looks original style 1939 / 1941 with original aluminum heads.

Ol' Ron · 07-15-2011, 04:33 PM

Looks like a flathead to me, very nice. Who made the intake and heads. Be a nice place for an L-100.
Ol' Ron

phartman · 07-15-2011, 04:56 PM

Beautiful! Wow!

Vic Piano · 07-15-2011, 05:27 PM

That is outstanding. Did the heads and intake come from the company in Texas (I can't remember the name, CRS, but I have their information filed away somewhere)

Vergil · 07-15-2011, 05:29 PM

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walt Dupont--Me. · 07-15-2011, 05:43 PM

Man, I want that in my living room for a coffee table. That's awsome. The only thing it needs 4 in a row on top like my 40. Walt

ford38v8 · 07-15-2011, 05:44 PM

Maybe Kearney Pattern Works in San Jose Ca? They've made Ardun heads, and I think also some V8 & V12 heads.

Fe26 · 07-16-2011, 01:12 AM

I am green with envy... beautiful piece of engineering

Bassman/NZ · 07-16-2011, 06:22 AM

A work of art!

Henry/Kokomo · 07-16-2011, 06:50 AM

That's the way I always thought a V12 should look. Very impressive. Congratulations on a fine job.

Displayman · 07-16-2011, 07:15 AM

Beautiful job!
Very flashy.

That's really something! Well done!

Jerry Rogers · 07-16-2011, 10:39 AM

I have a 1948 Lincoln Continental I am restoring. What did you do to the engine to increase its performance. Heads? Carbs etc . Thanks

Ford Flathead · 07-16-2011, 10:55 AM

The heads and intake came from Texas. I don't know the name of the place. It is going in a 1937 Lincoln zephyr

Chris Nelson · 07-16-2011, 10:55 AM

I noticed what looked like a diisc-coupling half on the front of the cranksaft. What does it connect to?

Ford Flathead · 07-16-2011, 11:54 AM

I think you are talking about the harmonic balancer that is attached to the crank pulley.

I bored it out to. 060 over put a 3/4 cam, 3 new chrome 97's and higher compression heads.
I am doing another one that is ported with big valves and a scot blower. Big bore with a stroker crank, but I just got the engine in last week.

gerrald meacham · 07-16-2011, 12:11 PM

That does it! Now I'm going to have to stretch the frame in my 31 coupe project!
Nice, I love the fact that you can run a triple duece setup and still keep the generator in the stock location.

oldiron73 · 07-16-2011, 02:47 PM

Nice job on the engine.
What kinda HP and Torque did these V12's put out stock, and what do you think you have now.

Ford Flathead · 07-16-2011, 05:44 PM

stock hp was around 120 now 150-170

Shadetree · 07-16-2011, 06:22 PM

Ford Flathead · 07-22-2011, 07:32 PM

I got the engine fired up today and it ran great. 50lbs of oil pressure and not a drip or tick anywhere. I great way to end the week. I will post video tomorrow.

49ford · 07-22-2011, 08:58 PM

BCCHOPIT · 07-22-2011, 09:07 PM

Ford Flathead · 07-23-2011, 04:10 PM

frenchy dehoux · 07-24-2011, 02:44 PM

Mike what do you charge to rebuild a V12 Lincoln.

Frenchy

Ford Flathead · 07-24-2011, 07:54 PM

They are a little more than a v8just because of the amount of extra parts but a stock v12 is about$ 7500 to 8000

frenchy dehoux · 07-26-2011, 12:24 AM

Thanks Mike !!!!

Frenchy

Django · 07-26-2011, 11:13 AM

That is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the whole car!!

fastbrad · 07-26-2011, 03:16 PM

Wow--really nice. Mine won't be that fancy, hoping to get it in an engine stand and start tearing it dow for inspection tomorrow.
