Some time back before the summer the radiator end tank on my v12 failed. Expected the worst.

Somehow...
Car lived last long enough to drive around Europe. I did replace the radiator. Obviously.

Started blowing water out the header tank 7 miles from home. Water in the oil.

I've thought about what else I could get. Sub 50k and interesting. And there definitely are some interesting cars... GTRs, M5, M12....

Going to get a 6.8l rebuild instead because why not.

It'll be mine.
It will be unique.
It's a bit silly.


Anyone else had a stretched build done? I'm only going for a 96mm overbore not a stroke.

I'm thinking about getting some billet cams made.

I've read that TWR managed to make the HE breath. Anyone know if the group a cars or the xjr-15 really were HE heads that were worked?


Have a good weekend.
