Thanks guys

Functionally a Mercedes twin turbo V12 would be great but I just couldn't do it.

An LS series motor is borderline as well but at least they came in escalades and CTS-V's.

I did see the Divers car, should be awesome when finished.

Well hell... the LS is aluminum, yes? Got a welder?

There is always the Falconer.

In the end, though, I'd run the BMW V12. It wouldn't take much to give it the look of a modern "Cadillac" V12 with its narrow cam covers.

Watchin' this one... too cool!

Shiny Side Up!

Looks like it will be well able to handle that beast soon to sit on top of it.

how about a supercharged northstar out of an sts-v?

I've thought about it but it will only make around 400rwhp without a lot of mods and I don't really like the supercharger whine.

It may be ok but this is a lot of car to move around

Subscribed. Not sure how I've managed to miss this one all this time. I watch all the cool builds and even some of the Camaro ones.

Jim,

At events with this beast, you're going to think your name is

'I call shotgun'...followed by 'I call back seat'.

Thanks guys! And yeah, the back seat should be an alright place to be. I'm spending some time with it to make sure it will be nice for all but I think it's necessary being a 4-door.

So I mentioned the fresh air/recirc door I was working on for the front A/C unit.

I think this will do, no chance of stale air in this ride

Basically just a plenum that sandwich mounts between the blower motor and A/C box attached to a dodge ram fresh air door. Need to make a close-out panel and then route it up to the cowl.
