What is it?

I was at the Brockville car show and I saw this flathead. Now what is it? It can't be a 12cyl, is it a v8?

I ment the engine. I don't get the 6 sparkplugs and the 4 exhaust ports.

its a flathead , they used only 3 exhaust ports on all v8 flatheads . so on a v12 there would only have 4 . because the center cyl shared the same pipe .

It is probably out of Lincoln Zephyr. They made a flat head V-12 in the late 30's. Cadillac made a V16 in the 30's also.

And I think you are right, I vote for Lincoln also. Gotta love flatheads they cost more than a LS motor to build and get a 1/4 of the horsepower...But they look cool. This one was 50k to build they told me.And still only put out 300 hp
