I'm very serious about building a V12 Ardun. I bought a Lincoln V12 but haven't received it yet. There are a few problems that have to be worked out. I don't know if the bore center lines are the same as a V8. If they are then I will buy 2 sets of Arden heads and valve covers and cut the last cylinder off of opposing heads then weld them back to together and adjust the head bolt pattern. If the center lines are different then I will whittle a set out of billet. It would be a lot easier to cut and paste.
Here is a couple shots of what I'm going to build.

I don't know Ken, why don't you build something "different" from the pack. That Ardun/ V12 thing is just being done to death in my opinion. Everybody and their Brother has one it seems.
I'll tell you one thing Ken, you sure aren't afraid of a challenge. That truck is going to be sweet and drop some jaws when people look under the hood. I can hear some of the funny opinions of what it is already.

PS, I have a title for this build already. Project $ 300K is underway. lolLast edited by Itoldyouso; 07-07-2008 at 09:16 PM.

Ken,
Did I see your trailer line featured in the latest Street Rodder - Kendon Industries?? Looks like what you were showing us a while back.
The new truck design - love it. Even if the Ardun wont work, the V12 will be a great idea. But....if it does, even betterDave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
