Identification help

lowbudget50 · Feb 3, 2019

Calling all gurus, I need help identifying this engine. Pretty unique. The owner has an idea on what it is but I don't want to get his hopes up until we know for sure. Took a couple snapshots of it. He has everything the crank the Pistons the cam the heads I believe the valves are there in a box. It is been taken apart and stored in his storage building that he inherited for as long as he knows. A couple of the parts have numbers on them but there's not much. Let's see what we can find out thanks in advance

Yep... I have this one waiting in my shop for a future build. It was a runner I bought a few years back because it ain't cheap to rebuild one! The Egge rebuild kit is $3,150!

Yeppers, V 12 Lincoln, post war I believe. 6h I think is 39-41, with 7 h being 42-48, but don’t hold me to that. I don’t have all my bookmarks on this iPad that I have on the home pc or I could check it. That is what my car would have had stock, about 305 cu in.

I’ve saw a few pictures of hot rodded Lincoln V12’s, pretty pricey speed parts IF you can find them. Aluminum intakes with 3 or 4 carbs and aluminum heads are out there, but pretty rare.

Just like flathead Fords, they were bad to run hot and crack.
