That would be awesome, can't afford it but it would be the ultimate Ford Creation.

You've seen the photo-shopped version, I assume?

Jay and Fast Ed, would that Cammer then be a 640-inch 12V?  ;)

It's just a Photoshop job.  They never built anything like that.

Love the copper pipe.
I use it, ala Home Despot, on the 390 so you could say it's stockish. ::)

If you used two Shelby blocks it could be done just like the 318 based Dodge v10. Would take some rocket engineering and a lot of custom billet parts though, along with a big deep wallet LOL.

We did build a couple of V-12 modular engines at Ford, by sectioning and welding 4.6L blocks and heads.  All that was needed was custom cranks and cams.

One ended up in the GT90 show car, and the other one got stuffed into a Town Car!  Engine management was done by a pair of modfied Thunderbird EEC-IV ECU's, so essentially the V-12 was tuned as a pair of V-6 engines.

Upper management killed that project off pretty quickly, once they found out what the "Welding Feasibility Study" really was LOL!

Saw that welded v-12 in the car rags when the GT-90 debuted.

It would be easier for Jay to link two SOHCs's for a V-16!

Hey, Busby did the old 255 CID Indy Ford DOHC engines in a dragster long ago.
