The sound is something I'm looking forward to as well. That's why I'm keeping it NA, I want that V12 noise!

I'd be interested in researching the "stroke" numbers on this motor. Would they happen to be in your manual?

Hey guys, thanks for all the support and kind words so far. As previously stated I am in college full time so this project is just for my free time which I've had minimal. I'm back from break and am looking forward to making progress on the car over the next year, most of which will be engine related. While I will try my best to keep the pics and updates coming, I know there will large gaps in time in between. In the mean time, I'll try by best to answer any questions you all might have.

I was finally able to get an engine stand that would hold the engine properly, so its pulled from the car and ready to work on. Look out for new updates soon!
