how were they as engines? are parts available? was the distributor somehow a rework of the v8? This message was edited by MICHV8 on 8-12-18 @ 9:10 AM

They were known for using oil. Properly rebuilt, that won't be an issue. The distributor was unique to the V-12 as was the coil. Still, only a "cousin" to the V-8 counterparts. Pistons, lifters, valves, etc. are readily available. cams and cranks are available but not as readily. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
