That's pretty
, but I like the Falconer V12 like in this C4. It's a downsized version of the Rolls-Merlin's aircraft motors from WW2.....

It looks cool, but I'm getting about 580 hp out of my LS2 motor in my 07 vette, so half the cubes and less than half the weight, and only a little less power.

Well, not really. The Falconer V-12 is essentially a Chevy small-block with four added cylinders; the Rolls Merlin had overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. ![Thumbs Up](https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

John, I was going by a description on a site that was making the 3/4 Mustangs, I forget the name, and thanks for enlightening me. After reading your post about Falconer, it rang a bell.....I think their was a thread about that engine about a year ago, where you described it with the Chevy reference. Early onset Alzheimer I guess....![Big Grin](https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin5.gif)

Sorry guys that car was built by my friend Rod Hadfield who lives in Castlemaine Victoria Australia. He built the car in the attempt to seduce some wealthy American into buying it but failed to get the big bucks from the States to cough up ! Hence the Americana signage ! He was a Hot Rod builder and sold dropped axles for lots of cars to lower them without mucking with the suspension. Sorry it's all Australian !
