GM only had 3 of the V16's made. One was a dyno Mule, one in the concept Cadillac, and the other was put in a Chevy Tahoe of all things. The Tahoe is UGLY. It has a nasty looking lengthened front end. lol

Try posting at the Hokey Ass Message Board (HAMB) on the Jalopy Journal site (www.jalopyjournal.com).

Make sure you do an intro first after you register. Then, ask away. There's more vintage engine knowledge and connections on that board than anywhere else I've seen.

PS- Did you know there were aftermarket aluminum heads made for the V-12 Lincoln way back in the day? It's true...I recently saw a pair at the Carlisle Swaps. Wild stuff...
