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

I think I just drooled on my keyboard.

Vic Piano · 06-01-2012, 10:43 AM

Nice Job.... a thing of beauty

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.

lonewolf · 06-07-2012, 12:20 PM

Does anyone make 3/4 cams or regrind stock cams?

19Fordy · 06-07-2012, 01:34 PM

Sweet looking engine. If you get a video of it once it's installed and running, let us know.

Cam Techniques of sarasota Fl can do it. Ask For an L-100 short track cam. very popular among the street roddera.

Wdupe · 04-18-2015, 02:43 PM

One thing I would like to ask, Did those headers come from someone or did you make them up ?

V12Bill · 04-18-2015, 03:53 PM

That engine would look GOOD in my Zephyr Convertible!! Was the cam ground to accept solid lifters? Yes those headers are different!!

Probably won't get an answer on this old thread but, did the dyno tell the torque at say 2000-3000 rpm compared to say a 276 V8? Thanks Walt
