V-12s in the "wild". The hunt is part of the thrill. Anyway, as it is a truck beginning I am staying with the dual disk set up for clutching and upgrading to the steel Lipe Rollway clutch for better durability. I will initially stay with a Clark or Fuller transmission of significant heft. The plan is to push 5000 rpm with 600 hp across 3000 RPM range. I will also run NOS as direct inject in order to, by design, hit 1000 hp of very streetable power. [http://www.thunderv12.com] is a great source of parts for these engines and if you want you can even get the whole thing. This Wiki is going to assume that the reader can handle the basic engine rebuild as far as pistons, rings, bearings and valve job. What I address here is the home builder issues that need to be addressed to get to my performance goals. Covered are the cam, lifters, oil pump, running clearances, magnum vs standard parts and tidbits I have found along the way. | V-12s in the "wild". The hunt is part of the thrill.
