Someone's Built A Monstrous 8.5-litre V12 From Two LS1 V8s
This huge V12 was created by grafting together two cut down General Motors LS1 V8s and adding a custom crankshaft
The result of this mad project? 707bhp at 6300rpm, and 627lb ft of torque at 5700. It’ll be heading to a customer in the USA, who’s apparently planning on squeezing it into the engine bay of a Chevrolet Camaro.
All this has us in mind of an amazing project we spotted a couple of years ago, which saw one heroic hot rod builder stick together two 1JZ straight-sixes to make a one-off V12.
