Default O/T but absolutely fascinating. Packard V12

Guys this is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time.

This also gives you a good look inside one of the best V12's of all time.

I find some of the valve angles and combustion chamber shapes very interesting.

Enjoy!

Wow, the transfer area on those is HUGE! Amazing that a flathead uses rocker arms! What beautiful cars those are!

WOW! You Really Need Big Time Machines and Bug Time Know How. If You want it done right.
I remember the story told on this very board, how a guy got his flat head rebuilt and it ran fine on the test block but after putting it in his car, it didn't have enough power to even more the car.
