It'll be somen small till I'm done building my 6.1 liter V-12 :o

you own a V12 right now? what kind is it? you do know that Toyota has a V12 too that you should use.

I'm building it myself much cheaper tha toyotas v-12

you are going to design, and construct a V12 from scratch? i think that'll cost more than buying a Ferrari's V12.

I won't b all alone I've got friends everywhere including engine shops I'm slightly considering a V-10 for weight and less complexity but...

Do you know the costs of R & D on a engine? You will have to design a block, then internals. Not as simple as machining a block of aluminum and throwing slugs in it

Exactly!

If i was going to do a v12 i'd get a Toyota V12. I thihnk any other v12 would cost too much. (i.e. Ferrari, BMW, Jag, Lambor, etc) Unless you found a old v12 out of one of those older jag's...

Why do you want a v12 so bad anyways?

Way too heavy. You would have to use exotic materials to utilize the engine for speed

I'm reconsidiring the v-12 for weight reasons Its' gonna be either a
V-10,V12,V8TT,O-8TT
Any of which will be handbuilt

Whats O-8TT? I understood what the rest meant...

Horizontally opposed 8 cylinder Twin turbo

You might have space problems with that last set up. Stick with the V set up
