Here you go.. V12 coupled to a dragboat v-drive and ending in a quick change rear...bad ass as they come...I only wish I heard it fire up!

Someone told me it was a V12 truck motor based on a early 305 V6 GMC. not coupled but an actual V12 block tied to a Toronado drive. I checked it out but couldnt get past the motor. Like the 305 it had the spark plugs on the carb side of the head....Really neat . The only problem with the Jalopy Showdown, is theres too many cool cars there,,,,Those boys from long Island sure can drink ....

Thanks for the coverage nefareous. Jalopy Showdown always seems to have a turnout of very cool cars and trucks.

freakdude, that is in fact a 702 inch GMC V-12. It's not two engines coupled. You can read about them here: http://www.6066gmcguy.org/TwinSix.htm

Yea and what's even cooler is that GM made factory plaid valve covers that fit them. There's something you don't see every day.

Even more than just the cars.............

The folks were really great. Cool parties Friday night without anything getting out of hand. Anyone else have pics of the track action? Had someone snap me, but they were busy with a vendor space.

Nice action photo sir woosh.
