some more info on this bad boy: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/28/f...-ford-model-a/ It's almost a shame to cover up and retro mod a Cosworth intake like that but the results are incredible.

An E36 with a Judd V8 possibly from F1. THIS is the sound of fury, all 10,000 RPMS of fury.

Damn, so sweet! I literally had goosebumps listening to it


I googled the V12, looks to be for aircrafts. I wonder which variant was used on the swap? The 2,060 HP 2-stage supercharged one?

After a brief search, I couldn't find any rolling vids of the Rolls swapped Rover, only this:


I did find one of a guy firing his Merlin up in his garage. without any sort of exahust piping. Seriously sick:


I'm still loling at the fact that this motor is found in Spitfires and other fighter planes of that era.

A super common swap now, but classic example of the almighty LS1 FD. For those interested, the build link is filled with excellent info
