Looking good Scott. Question; the first photo appears to show some asymmetry above and behind the rear wheel arches. Is that simply a photo distortion?

Like it........a lot. the whole rear was a great exercise in craftsmanship evolution. Please don't change it again....pleeeease!
Thanks for checking that Ken. I was following that in the other thread. If it is just those two things, it might be easy enough to accomodate it. Sure would make for a nice clean install if so. I will look once i get back to that stuff and figure if it is worth it or not.
I have been loving the Biturbo 6.0 V12 in the SL65 soooo much, I couldn't help but to think how insane it would be in the SLC. So, started checking into it.
Used lower mile motor with turbos= $4500 (less than what the cost to build my 1UZ to what I want it to)
Kennedy says they see no problem in doing it.
Motec can run it. Same cost for either the 1uz or the M275, and one of my friends is one of the best Motec tuners in the world.
They are relatively compact. The 600 non AMG cars had 5.5l V12's, but correct tuning and better exhaust/intake tracts over the AMG production cars is worth tons of power.
So, a V12 sound, 750hp and 900ftlbs and it isn't even breathing hard. Trying to find weight differences, but I doubt it to be grossly over a comparable twin turbo LS.
So, we get to the clutch. The best Kennedy can do is something to hold about 750ftlbs. I have no idea how a Tilton or Quartermaster 7.25" multi disks will do with engagement with that much torque. I do have a lightly used triple disk Tilton with cf disks though (albeit wrong splines). I think the clutch choices will kill this idea. Alot of fab, money, and planning could go to the wind if I can't source a streetable clutch.
So, someone talk me out of this. Or, talk me further into it. Haha.
Would the V12 fit? I would have thought that it would be too long, but I don't have any numbers.I have been loving the Biturbo 6.0 V12 in the SL65 soooo much, I couldn't help but to think how insane it would be in the SLC. So, started checking into it.
