V12 value?
So..... I found one nearby and I'm wondering what a ballpark value (high-low) would be for a running V12 Lincoln flathead? I know its hard to put a value on something like that but I really have no idea what they are are worth in today's market. Thanks.

Re: V12 value?
My friends who have rebuilt one haven't done it for less then 10k. Also, the later ones (46-48?) are better then the earlier engines. The later engines have bulges on the sides of the block, earlier ones do not. I personally have not messed with one.

You are talking about a Zephyr V12, aren't you? They made bigger ones in the early '30's that are a completely different ball game.

Re: V12 value?
Well if it runs at least you know everything is there. If I were buying it, although it runs and that's a good thing but without knowing you almost have to assume that your gonna need to check it out. Every one I've opened up needed crank reground and cam bearing journals are also bad to wear in these engines. Due to poor oiling I suspect. I'd say $2K -$2500. Keep in mind that everything for these engines is expensive
