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

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.

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.

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

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 !!!!
