wow, this v12 gets completely and utterly over hyped here; I really dont get how much nut swinging this thing gets for its lack of anything spectacular on paper.

'naw dawg, who curzzz if u make 10000 hp, i got da v12 more cilinders than yo 2jz hur hurr'

lol, ok. whatever makes you sleep at night knowing that you spent stupid amounts of money to win $5 plastic trophies at local ricer car show meets. I guess you get mad propz there, paul walker *fist pound* F the haterz, G! lol

like zack said, (UZZ-TT)... lets just say 60k-70k for the complete thing, 60-70 k put into any car could make it win best in show it doesn't need to have the v12. if i had 70k to spend on my car, jesus. well first off ill make 1500hp or more if i feel like it, screw a 3.4L ill get a custom block made and get it up to a 3.6, 3.8 hell ill go 4L 2jz and make hp and tq like nothing. then get some crazy wheels, make then even more crazy! body work do a paint job and sick bodykit. do a crazy stereo system and amazing interior with bald eagle lol. FORGET ABOUT THE V12! if it was possible id have it already cause the one i had found was only $2000, i even paid the guy and backed out before he shipped it to me. its useless unless u are a millionaire.
You told us why we shouldn't do the swap, but why did you back out of the deal at the last minute after spending 3 years on research of the V12, was it lack of resources and technical access???

I found an XJ12 in our local junk yard a few months back. First thoughts were that we would swap it into my friends mustang..... Then we realized that for the weight of the engine, the .3L's more wasn't worth the effort.

Bunch of people hating on this. Not always HP numbers, or show winning that is on peoples minds.

Thanks for some of the info there cleanshots.

So far I've seen two start talking about this swap and go missing..... Am I gonna be knocked off for having the same idea?? Is Top Secret up to no good or the haters??? Either way, my ideas are even more outlandish and absurd. Y'all won't be bothered by me until a lot has been bought and the project has been marketed to the right minds. I had been planning on a small 1UZ truck build in the meantime while researching. Might just skip that one all together! Guess I'll have to start with a security team! lol

It is not a motor that was not designed for heavy mods or forced induction.
Everyone would like to see it and have one, but its not practical to get it, build it, fabricate everything.
I bet even the top secret people didn't think they would have to get in so deep.
