Found this article while surfing the web at work today. Since so many people love the lsX engines, I wanted to see what people thought of this!

It is LS based.

Certainly could look cool when you lift the hood. Just have to get rid of ugly plastic intake (sorry, but I hate the looks of LSx front loader intakes) V12 or V16 with multiple 4bbl throttle bodies or injector stacks would look pretty bad ass.

I agree with your assessment of the appearance of the LS front feed intakes. We had some cool ideas when I worked on the LS7 intake. We were given very tight parameters and ended up with a similar looking intake.

Yep!!!

I was following the thread...http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1643786-v12-ls1-build.html

Apparently they gave up on the project. A 90º block makes for a funky firing order V12. Plus it's a LONG engine...no easy cam swaps....

I ended up w/ a BMW V12 custom ITB's -

I'm not a big fan of the European exotics, but this certainly peaked my interest. :jawdrop:
