He built the engine off the idea that many V12s are two inline-six engine connected by a single crank. This is similar to another engine builder using <a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=2673\">two LSx V8s to make a V12<\/a>. The difference being this builder actually has video of his V12 running on a dyno. The engine runs two separate ignitions, coils, oil pumps and with some Holley four-barrel carbs the engine produced 697 horsepower and 576 ft-lb of torque on the dyno. The builder didn&#8217;t say which vehicle this engine was going in but the oil pan was notched to clear a Cadillac Eldorado transaxle.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YAfoe5ncm9M\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Other engine builds using multiple engines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=4014\">I6 head made from two LS1 heads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=2673\">V12 made from two LSx V8s<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=4413\">V12 made from two 1JZ I6s<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsepowermonster.com\/2015\/one-of-a-kind-v12-ford\/\">Horsepower Monster<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/bangshift.com\/bangshiftapex\/watch-this-homebuilt-ford-cleveland-v12-552ci-made-from-two-302-blocks-and-three-cleveland-heads-make-dyno-pulls\/\">BangShift<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan Baker is an amazing engine builder because he has built a V12 from two Ford 302 blocks and three Cleveland heads.
