V-12

[406Rich]

Would a 1948 mercury V-12 flathead be worth building, found it on CL $950..complete except carb.? It could be cool in my `37...

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!

I once saw one adapted into an early fordson tractor. I thought it was way to COOL!

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.

I stand corrected, I just correlate lincoln/mercury, old habit..

if you`ve the bucks to spare go for it .. even if you just keep it for garage clutter .. i wish i had bought a 409 chevy and a 392 hemi engine a few years back ..

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.
