Yes there is a few but I have not had too much success with them.

Great project good to see someone else modifying the V12 and not ditching it.

 

I finally finished wiring and plumbing the motor last night. Today I plan to fill and bleed the brakes, hydraulic throwout bearing, fill the power steering, drain the old fuel from the gas tank & refill with fresh premium.

With any luck at all, I'll be posting a video of the first start-up, tonight.

 

Looks good Scott, are you still running the Lucas injection or have you gone aftermarket. I see the aluminum plate in the V.

 

Thanks Warren. Yes, I'm using an Electromotive TEC-1 for fuel and ignition.
Unfortunately, I got something wrong, because nothing happened when I turned the key. I don't think I have power going to the fuel pump relay, because I never heard the pump kick on, nor did the starter turn over. Absolutely nothing happened at all. Maybe I'll get a chance to start tracing things down next weekend, and find out where I screwed up.

 

Looks great Scott. I'm sure you will have it fired up soon.

What type of exhaust is on the car ? (I like the look of the tips)

 

Thanks Scott.
I hate doing anything electrical/electronic on a car. I guess I just don't have the right composition of neurons to truly know what I'm doing in that arena.

The exhaust is 2-1/4", with Flowmaster Deltaflow 40s in the front silencer position, then it runs under the center of the rear cage, to the twin-tipped Monza resonators out back. The cats are gutted, and the system has a wicked growl to it. I'll add a few sound clips to this post when I get on my other PC, where I have the files stored.

I am going to need to revise the way the pipes run under the rear cage, because I will be installing a truss from an XJSC, which will tie the rear cage in with the car better, and keep me from ripping the cage out every time I do a hard launch with the combination of the Richmond gearbox's 3.27:1 1st gear and the 3.54:1 differential. I'm also converting from the stock, rubber-damped trailing arms, to a solid, Heim joint setup, to help control any possible wheel hop.

This is how the car sounds on startup:
Idle & Rev.wmv

This is a dive-by at 3,000RPM & 80 mph:
3000rpm Drive-by.wmv

It sounds like pure evil when driving through a parking garage, or tunnel, and that's about my favorite sound in the world, but, I don't have any sound clips of that.

 

I like it !

I tried this 3" system but it was too loud for me and too low going under the rear cage........ My car must be sitting far too low at the back as I'm assuming you don't have any grounding issues ?

I have 2.5" under the diff and have just 100mm ground clearance, car is stock ride height with 292lb rear springs (45% stiffer) and no ground clearance issues yet.

2.5" you can get between the drive shaft and LCA.

 

I'm surprised that nobody has snapped up that Kiesler exhaust system yet.

 

Some project, but looking good. Love the engine mods and paint scheme. will sure be an original when you get it done.
