I got a debored half of a V12 sitting in the shop. They're one big friggin chunk of iron!

If you are wanting to put one of these in a truck that would be.....COOOOOOOLLL!!!!!! Don't know if it will fit but I definitely want to see it when its done.

What would you do with only 2400 RPM though??

I've seen two in a wwII era torpedo retrival boat. Probably the wrong vintage of engine....

I think these are Packard Merlins...different beast.

These were used in the big GMC 7000 thru 9000? series cab-over tractor-trailer trucks. They were also used in a lot of oilfield applications like mud pumps, shakers, generators, etc.

*Shane* · 06-16-2007, 07:10 PM

they were also used in buses ...

the boat wasn't original. it was converted to live aboard at some point during it's life. 1970's? the engines defiinatly weren't original.
