Default Flathead V12
This is a pull polished Lincoln V12 I just finished. It has a 3/4 cam and all the good parts.

That engine looks nice. Is the coil converted to 12 volts. With a 3/4 cam are you still using the hydraulic lifters. What year is the car the engine is going into.

Thanks

Yes it is 12V and no I am using hollow body adjustable lifters. It is going into a 1941 Lincoln.
