      ls12

      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!

      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/conversion...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.
