\"V12LS<\/a><\/p>\n

The interest in a LSx V12 has increased enough for a company called V12LS<\/a> to develop and eventually sell them. Currently the company is testing their prototype and fixing bugs<\/a> such as water leaking, starting, head gaskets, and engine management.<\/p>\n

\"V12LS<\/a><\/p>\n

The engine is a 90 degree with each bank balanced like an inline-six which is typical for most V12s. The engine runs an odd-firing order similar to a Viper V10. The engine is 8.8 inches longer than a LSx V8 or similar to many inline-six engines length. There seems to be some confusion on displacement. V12LS lists on their website the engine is 519 ci or 8.55 L but 519 ci is equivalent to 8.5 L and 521 ci is equivalent to 8.55 L.<\/p>\n

\"V12LS<\/a><\/p>\n

The company constructs the engine from two LS1 blocks that are cut, machines, welded together, heat treated, re-sleeved and bored. They estimate the engine will be good for 1,000 horsepower. And if you want to go over that they have future plans of offering a billet V12 block<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"V12LS<\/a><\/p>\n

The most exciting part of all this is they already have a prototype that is running. Can’t wait to hear this at full throttle.<\/p>\n
