Some incredibly talented guys in the US are cutting and splicing LS engines into a V12. Amazing work so I thought I'd share.

Wow! Thats certainly some dedication to the LS range of engines, and some very impressive fab/welding work to stick them back together.

The one they are currently working on will be getting a 1471 Littlefield blower with a custom intake manifold, and might find its way into a long-nosed 240Z
Go the datto! I guess that engine won't fit in anything smaller ;)

have a look at the right of the picture all the half heads and bits and pieces left over :)

shows just how much work there would be to even weld the heads back together properly!

not to mention welding them in a particular sequence due to hot welds shrinking and warping the joins while cooling. you have to be a master welder to accomplish such a feat.

i've seen some fairly amazing welding jobs on alloy blocks that have thrown a leg out of bed so its all possible :)
