A V-12 engine is mechanically balanced, 1000 bhp seems a little high, unless the car itself weighs three tons.

Ever shoe horn a 351 Windsor and auto into a Pinto runabout? Now that is a little high output for the car. lol

Did two of these, straight line cars only. :)

My funnest I ever did was shoe horning a 500 horse power V8 small block and auto trans in an early Z car. :)

My wife made me get rid of that one “before I killed myself” lol

I saw a great video on this engine with the project leader. The thing sounds like a genuine F1 engine. The design of the engine block and brackets are designed as part of the chassis system. It’s really an amazing work of engineering.
