Polished Kirkham with V12 engine at London

[AZCobra12]

It has been a crazy project from the begining that was started in May of 2011, titled in January 2017. Any normal guy would have stopped long ago with all the setbacks involved. It is almost done and turned out better than I thought possible!

No socks at this time. We are still dealing with, backfiring, airflow balancing, linkage sync, etc. The socks would be off and on a dozen times already in a few miles. There will be sock on them shortly once a good tune is done. It looks really good without them though!

This engine was not meant to operate at less than 1/2 throttle in 10,000lb race boats, so there are added challenges putting it in a 2600lb car. Very little throttle is needed, the butterfly's are 72mm that are stock. Smaller would be better!!

Well congratulations on sticking with the project - I do not have the patience for 6-year builds, honestly. I am sure your tuners are top-notch considering this project as a whole but you will want a tune with the socks on - A/F will be impacted. Keep us up to date as things progress...

PS: I am sure it might be listed already but how big a fuel-tank is installed???
