It has to be a Lincoln V12.
Merc never made them.
Be a major struggle to get it to fit in your '37.
Does it come with the box?
Now THAT would be different! Be a boat load of work I'm sure but, imagine everyone tripping over themselves when they look under the hood!Quote:

I think they were only about 125hp. You can get some speed parts for them but very pricey. But for a visual effect they can't be beat!

All sorts of applications. Sweet talk Mr. Thurm into casting an extra set of "Ardun" (or should that be Thurmdun?) heads.
Man thats a stretch, I`d have to be seven foot tall to ride it.:LOL:
I stand corrected, I just correlate lincoln/mercury, old habit..:oQuote:

guy at work had a whole car including the v12 in a 48 Lincoln.
couldn't find a buyer- it was his mom's.
certainly it's in a junkyard nearby here now.
I sold 3 1947 Lincolns this year each with a V12 in them.
Go to Yahoo and punched in (sounds of V-12 Flathead engines) and theyshow some that are running.
If you do, and need these let me know! Lincoln V12 finned heads or smooth.
Theres only one Source for the heads and Intake
