Hi Ken,

Man, your work is just amazing. You give me a lot of good ideas...

OK, I wanted to tell you... Just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who just happens to be the local "go-to guy" for anything related to Flatheads. I told him about your plan to build a V-12 with Ardun conversion... You will need to verify this with someone firsthand, but he says that the Lincoln V-12 was actually based on the little 60hp V-8. What this means is the bores are smaller and more closely spaced than the larger V-8's plus the head bolt spacing is completely different. He says it would be easier to make heads from scratch than to modify existing Arduns! As I said, you will need to verify this, but that was his opinion. I thought you might want to know that so you could look into it...
