Nice job Mike the block looks to be a 1946 to 1948 which were the better one to use on the V12. How about the V12 next to that looks original style 1939 / 1941 with original aluminum heads.

Looks like a flathead to me, very nice. Who made the intake and heads. Be a nice place for an L-100.

That is outstanding. Did the heads and intake come from the company in Texas (I can't remember the name, CRS, but I have their information filed away somewhere)

Man, I want that in my living room for a coffee table. That's awsome. The only thing it needs 4 in a row on top like my 40. Walt

Maybe Kearney Pattern Works in San Jose Ca? They've made Ardun heads, and I think also some V8 & V12 heads.

That's the way I always thought a V12 should look. Very impressive. Congratulations on a fine job.

I have a 1948 Lincoln Continental I am restoring. What did you do to the engine to increase its performance. Heads? Carbs etc . Thanks
