How strong is the M70 for that matter?
Well McLaren used it as the basis for the motor in the F1, and that motor made 650 BHP, so it's not too shabby a lump ;-)

So that's what you crazy Swedes do with your six month long winters ;-)
Unique way of mounting those SC's - I kept looking for them in the Vee, hehehe. Are those twin M62's? Mighty big turbo's too! Warpspeed ought to get a kick out of this setup.....
Any power figures yet on these engines?
@ London benji,
The older jags are indeed pretty cheap when sourced form breakers, but the money involved in rebuilding and upgrading one to the sort of spec I think you're after, is realy reaeaeaLLY expensive!
that sort of money would buy you a used second hand ferrari engine.
just out of interest why is nobody looking at the mercedes 6.0 V12 engines, they must be quite cheap in germany. you'll have a nice amount of volume to play with, ok it's a 3 valve head, but that doesn't stop hidious amounts of torque to be made?
the AMG engines have 4 valves per cylinder and 4 bolt mains standard so....
you might be better off buying a more expensive engine to start with and spend a little less on making it all work, for instance a Bare AMG engine and a good ECU would do some serious stuff compared to a fully upgraded Jag, for less money.

Cobolt, all of those links are just simply nuts!!! Awesome links, I wonder if you could do me a favour? What does this mean:
"B234 k Man kan ta ut den effekten om man vill,nu ska inte jag det
utan jag menade mer att man utgår att man kommer att uppgradera
bilen framöver.Att man har lite över dim bromsar däck bakaxel osv.
för nån gång kommer man att göra det,kanske inte med 1500hk
men kanske 800-900hk och då slipper man bygga en ny bil
B234 K it is possible to have that kind of power if you want, but I´m not going to, I meant that the car will be upgraded in the future and that it is a good ting to build in some extra capacity regarding tire dimensions, brakes, tires, rear axle, I mean it will happen sometime, maby not with 1500hp but maby 8-900hp and than you don´t have to build a new car.
v-man wattlänken kommer att sitta fast i framkant där kardanaxeln
ansluts.svårt att förklara,kommer på bild om nån vecka då jag jobbar
12 timmmars skift en vecka framöver"
v-man the wattlinkage will be mounted in the front of the bellhousing where the shaft connects to the rear axle.
Also (if anyone else knows as well) what the hell this is for?

Don´t know exactly what that is.. looks like something that could stiffen the package but that´s only a guess..
As for the Mercedes V12's they have been mentioned previously, I've done some googling before I think but didn't find much info, do you have any info/links?
No, I have wery little info regarding that engine, only the sdt specs like bore/stroke and such.. no real info about how its built.
As for the newer Mercedes engines I called up my mate who works in a Mercedes dealship in the parts department and the conversation went pretty much like this:
Me: Dude how much for any of the new merc V12's?
Him: Hmm, hold on a second.......right they are £56,000
Me: WHAT?!? No dude I meant just the engine not the entire car.
Him: No that IS just the engine, EXCLUDING VAT (17.5%) so just a touch under £66000
OMG!! now that´s a pricetag!!
Haha What a small world after all Cribjj,
I know Andy, he's on the Locostbuilders list also as andy GTT, noce forum aswell btw.
give him my regards on the GTT when you meet him, brilliant work!

Old post bump. Even going back to Toyota OBD-I. OEM Toyota ECU's also use that strategy on V engines. Both banks are tuned & trimmed independantly of each other.BMW did something sorta like this with the V12 that I'm playing with now. This engine was built as two inline sixes, and each bank had its own ECU, injection, and ignition system.
