REAL DEAL LC TORANA v12 Ferrari engine swap, Will it run?

The time has finally come to see if Real Deal runs and drives!!
Cavills Performance has done an Amazing job getting this sorted!
Massive thanks goes out to Matt and the crew at Cavill's Performance and the team at Haltech for what they have achieved getting the Ferrari v12 up and running.

[@MattyWillo]

Ferrari about to send a cease and desist letter for making their V12 sound like an ecotec 😂 hope to see some nice pipes on it soon

[@DontBeDraft85]

I was thinking that it definitely sounds like two 6 cykinder commodores drag racing. Definitely cool though.

[@worbradar]

Sounds shit house

[@sebdupree1]

​​​​​@@DontBeDraft85I mean a v12 is 2 inline 6s put in a v just like a v8 is 2 inline 4s put in a v a cross plane v8 is 2 cross plane inline 4s and a flat plane v8 is 2 flat plane inline 4s

[@DontBeDraft85]

@sebdupree1 You mean with equal length headers 12 into 2 it would sound like a V12 not two 6 cylinder commodores? Thanks for heads up.

[@mikekelly8950]

nah there toooo busy keeping an eye on DDE lol

[@mickgtir]

Got to be honest, I was expecting a screaming V12 and it wasn't.

[@jaysure8033]

And more power...thats like ls1 power 🥺

[@ArizaNumber1]

I know these guys can do as they please and whatever, me personally i liked the 8 that was in it.

[@FELiPES101]

that trans is sucking a lot of power out of it

[@Nocturnal-NZ]

This is the 5.7 litre v12 not the 6 or 6.5 litre. It was never going to sound how people thought it would.

[@scootersfrog]

needs a 12 to 1 exhaust then it would scream

[@adammuscat2194]

Anyone else feel the powerglide kinda lets it down? Would have been way cooler with the ferrari transmission or a dct or sequential box

[@freedomfox8183]

Yes and No I feel like the rev limiter and engine choice let It down what happened to the 12 thousand RPM screaming monster was supposed to be?

[@Outland9000]

Xtrac or similar would be epic.

[@Mp-jw1qg]

would hae been way cooler with an 8hp90 8 speed. could have used a stock trans, and the turbo lamik tcu for about $3500 and it runs with any ecu and drives like factory bmw/hellcat with the 8 speed.

[@XrayDean]

Build one then!

[@62cripple]

Fuk yeah...! When you doing that....?

[@murrayjamieson9821]

Maybe a new/better exhaust system to get the Ferrari sound?

[@Jake_Hamlin]

Titanium back half

[@peterhalson5446]

Congratulations on the intense build.. Definitely not what I was expecting to hear from the usual sound of a Ferrari but that's what makes it unique. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, patience and passion Bud

[@agresa]

Well you've made the V6 commodore community happy by using the sound effects from a VT V6 to hide the iconic Ferrari sound for the video.

[@iamjesseb]

Nice build boys definitely need to work on that exhaust note with that pipe set up

[@ajjamieson514]

So good to see that you've finally got the Real Deal Torana moving under its own power finally. . Well done to all involved.

[@cammos]

Its not about a million hp its the point of doing sumthing different and the engineering behind it all its a first its legendary see it for wat it is. Great feat guys well done.

[@ArchimedeanEye]

When you fit a Ferrari V12 but a 202 with triples sounds better!! Maybe a different exhaust config. Even Harry's garage Jag V12 sounds more V12-y than this currently.

[@TorquilBletchleySmythe]

A 202 with triples never makes power past 4000rpm, they just make noise and hiss. The 186 was a better revving motor, and boring them to 202 whilst keeping the 186 head for higher compression was the better way to go. The factory 202 was never as good as a big bore 186. Even then, they didn't make power after a certain rev range, the dyno printouts always showed either a drop off or a flatline.

[@ArchimedeanEye]

@@TorquilBletchleySmythe Maybe in the old days. How about an 8000rpm 202 with 300+ HP at the wheels? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGarfH6BoNmfsKMsi=lj9L-eVmf7lkraD-

[@Mac-zl4po]

​@@TorquilBletchleySmythethanks info guy

[@TorquilBletchleySmythe]

@@Mac-zl4po my work is done here.

[@MrMov41t]

Straight pipes to the diff in titanium will give it the scream . Congrats awesome build ❤

[@majcrash]

Yeah, that's what it's missing. Doesn't sound like a Ferrari without the scream.

[@carisi2k11]

Straight piping isn't allowed here.

[@dyIanVII]

@@carisi2k11 You can run whatever you want as long as you retain cats as long as it doesn't exceed the dB limit and the exit location complies with whatever arbitrary nonsense they've come up with.

[@pieflies]

@@dyIanVIIit’s pretty unlikely that straight pipe would pass those rules

[@dyIanVII]

​@@pieflies Realistically you could run cats + resonators to get it *just* below the dB limit not under load and it'd sound very similar.

[@gregorysukroo7167]

Lucky my brother's LC two door had a 138, if we had that V12, God would be writing this. So bloody fantastic. Well done to your vision, persistence and collaborators.

[@hudsonsled454]

The Ferrari identifies as an ecotec 😂

[@randomdude4669]

I've heard much better sounding barras

[@Shauny808]

Yep what a let down

[@yourkidding69er]

The intro music almost had me pour a glass of wine 🤌🤌

[@RobRichards584]

I've got to say, that's probably right on the edge of the right amount of crazy, what a creation!

[@James-qr6rp]

Wow what a sound idling sounds like a V8- Diesel - Ferrari 🤙 maybe two and a half inch straight through it's pretty quiet unique sound

[@davejohnston6251]

Sounds weird not having that V8 noise but it just goes to show regardless of what power plant you stick under the bonnet of any car, you end up with a beast if it's done right. Great job guys!

[@Mattsretiring]

I'm stunned. It sounds like a well tuned Holden 6. (Even the belt screams) Don't know how you've done it but MINT!

[@jimmyjimmy19702010]

I’m predicting the power glide will eventually go. A close ratio 5 or 6 speed manual is what a high revving Ferrari V12 is screaming out for.

[@hankhank3129]

Sweet!! From the US here and Cleetus fan. Love this build and awesome to see the Warbird again!

[@melbgrk6725]

Congrats on the immense effort,energy.expertise and money poured into this very very unique engine swap .... I hope you enjoy mate for years to come and I'm sure you'll change things along the way. What most counts is your very very happy with the result and that what counts ....👍

[@vzgsxr]

I absolutely love this car, but it's a bit of a shock now hearing it sound like my mum's vacuum cleaner. Especially after the last engine it had in it. 😂

[@oldieman730]

Great to see it running down the road now. Awesome job folks.

[@wayno23]

Well done back on the road 👏& full circle. Sounds like a Holden 6 again.

[@MadmanJnr]

Pretty funny to think "its aiming to be a daily"... and its powered by a ferrari V12... 😂 Absolutely fantastic to see this little beast driving!

[@user-eq5cs8rb2p]

That tuner guy knows wat he's talking bout brother

[@gazza116]

so good to see it up and running,i often wondered if it would end in tears but you pulled it off congrats now to make it sound like v12.

[@colseverns9848]

What an amazing combination !!! damn that Torrie looks tough and the rear tubs needed to fit that rubber in was totally worth it ... Big Respect Man !! There is a shitload of work going into that rare beast ... absolutely well done .. next time im passing through Castlemaine i hope to see it enjoying some time outside.

[@criticaldawg]

Fuawk boys it sounds like a automatic ve omega in limp mode 😂😂 where did we go wrong on the exhaust setup

[@baddaddy8718]

Very nice mate, bhp is not everything if it was you’d have never pulled the 8 I’m guessing. Engineering standpoint alone she’s a 10

[@woodstock69girl55]

I loved seeing it going down the main street.

[@marcp108]

what a beast to "go down to the local shops". Absolutely amazing. I had one back in the 1980s with a 186 and you have put me to shame!

[@jasonh.8754]

Never thought I'd hear those words together: "Powerglide behind a Ferrari!" Wow, unreal, certainly different from an LS!

[@almostthere2024]

YES!!! all the POWER Nice one fellas. SHMICKO

[@waynelemmon3007]

Well done. Been watching and never thought that it would run let alone turn the wheels

[@williamuskoski1385]

Never been this hyped to see a build done

[@smokeyheadspace1607]

Nice work. I learn a lot from you. Much appreciation.

[@shadesbear2143]

Amazing build lads, congratulations

[@bct8881]

"It's alive!...It's alive!!!" Frankenstein's latest creation. The Ferrana.

[@Stigwuzere]

Mate what a rippa !!!! Luv every bit of it. You built a toad runna just the way YOU wanted it.

[@SirDaffyD]

Awesome to finally see this beast on the road. But thought it'd have a few more horses than what its got. Not too worry, it's on the road & it smokes the tyres & that's what matters. Now what do we call it? Is it a Torari or a Ferrana? LOL. Who cares, Great to finally see it on the road.

[@lukelikens2057]

Glad to see you getting to drive it and it's not as much power as a big block Chevy but the Cool factor is there

[@silver760]

That ferrari motor appears to hate having that sludge box on it .

[@5IMON5AY5]

The mariachi band for the intro song is absolutely perfect! ❤ WELCOME TO MEXICOO BABY! 🇲🇽

[@omacastro1231]

Happy it runs and drives. Wish i could afford to be different. Good job gentleman.

[@sfcustomcycles]

Awesome work Matty

[@goodvibesgoodvibes-mr8bs]

Great to see it finally up running, a dream combination 🤙

[@Buzylivin]

Hopefully you can make it sound better soon

[@williamstamper442]

Often when I see Aussie classic vehicles they remind me of the Canadian versions of American vehicles all the way back to the muscle car era of the mid to late 60s, slowly into the 70s.

[@corvairfanatic7106]

Such a great car. Thanx for the video.

[@awjelfs5034]

Now you can have red dice on the rear vision mirror, that is some excellent spanner work and auto electrical work as well.

[@williamstamper442]

Y'all certainly do things different in the Land Down Under! I amire your crazy ideas and execution of said crazy ideas!

[@kermitthehermit9588]

Been waiting to see this. Not sure why people are complaining about the exhaust note in the comments, it’s such a cool thing, and obviously wasn’t easy to pull off.

[@doriandoti8536]

Excellent project. So very well done!

[@tighematthew]

Ive been waiting for this upload for so long 👌

[@nickloborec1416]

Absolutely love the body on this. Awesome work, buy the beater a beer any day. Legend Lc.

[@supertoastboi3231]

Never thought id here a Ferrari sound like a Holden , but here we are.

[@EricaMTB]

A true spaghetti jet.

[@karakrim]

Incredible engineering and bloody proud that we have the skills and brains locally that can do this stuff ,

[@txddyfarquh69]

And this is why iv always enjoyed Aussie car builds, they can do your normal crazy then there's absolute REAL DEAL crazy!

[@josephkelly4893]

What a cool little cruiser, great build, definitely one of a kind.

[@lastcenturyclassics]

I liked the firing order. Thanks for sharing. 😁

[@stingraysdownunder2372]

Anyone else think if it had a 202 or a 186 it would of sounded the same ?

[@stephenscholes4758]

Maybe the uneducated? Racing v8's sound like small 4 cylinders - sixes sound like v12's... until they rev

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

So cool to see this creation rolling down the street. Good work boys!!

[@missinglink4205]

Love it, perfect street power for a car that weighs nothing. The vid doesn't do the sound justice would be better in person. Wicked build congrats bro👍🇦🇺🍻

[@matthewsainsbury681]

Piss that power glide off and go t56 magnum, this thing needs to rev. Also would run titanium exhaust with different mufflers, can hardly hear it, Apart from that, I love this thing 👌🏻

[@skidpigsil8051]

Nice job! 😊

[@chuckfowler8875]

You should have straight piped that motor there's nothing like the scream of an NA Ferrari V12 especially considering that motor is a detuned Enzo motor but only by 40hp.

[@paulstanford3063]

Well done , sounding pretty smooth . Should be able to rip 10s with that power level .

[@fozz351]

Wow can't wait to hear it run on all 12 cylinders? Sounds funny running on 6cyl

[@paulwilliamson3211]

Thanks for keeping the Castlemaine rod shop at the forefront of excellence in engineering. Rod would be so proud of what you are doing, true blue Aussies.

[@freedomfox8183]

Is this the only channel you follow mate? Loads of great ones out there

[@dhjoyce4587]

Congratulations to Castlemaine rod shop and Cavill's Performance in shepparton for building a rippa car! Good stuff! H821DL

[@kevinAuman1]

Yeah now this is one hell of a combination that I would absolutely love to get behind the wheel of, man I bet ya she is a riot to ripp around and beat on! 😂

[@psk5746]

The equivalent to putting a Holden engine in a horse carriage

[@steveskrobot9496]

Its got a tuff stance mate, and the sound is interesting. Sounds nice outside goin down the road.

[@user-eq5cs8rb2p]

One sick exhaust system and a tune it'll scream boys..

[@-sandman4605]

Bloody awesome Mate ✌😎

[@australiaray]

i want to see it on the drag strip for a time

[@toms5oh]

Finally finished 🙌

[@Nocturnal-NZ]

It was never going to sound like people thought it would. The 5.7 litre never sounded anything like the 6 or 6.5 litre.

[@timothyanear2841]

Yeah but it doesn't sound like a Ferrari so why waste your time with all that effort might as well just keep the big block. And get the rug shop sticker off the windscreen and put old mate to actually build it on there

[@Nocturnal-NZ]

​@@timothyanear2841it sounds just like a 612 scaglietti which didn't sound good at all.

[@CastlemaineRodShop1976]

Finally someone who knows what a 612 Scaglietti sounds like.

[@Nocturnal-NZ]

​@@CastlemaineRodShop1976I guess people just love to set themselves up for disappointment.

[@chrisschmidt4792]

Nice job, men! Don’t listen to the folks that didn’t like this or that about it. Change only what you don’t like! You’ve done well at breaking outside the box and then stepping on it! You’ve made it work, made it unique, made it yours and that’s all that matters!

[@cheve60]

I dont think the video audio does it justice, but this is a world first well done guys, looking forward to seeing it at summernats 👍

[@Wayne-Kerr_Rudy-Zarzoff]

The Ferana is alive

[@KEEGZ90..]

Love the channel fellas long time sub .. but to be completely honest not my thing but great job though 💪

[@Grooty79]

so happy for you, done well and sounds good :) euro v12s have a unique noise

[@NDP.VEGAS3484]

Need to straight pipe it🔥💯🤙🤙

[@warrenreid5257]

WOW . Know this is what we have been waiting for what a beast. It is still the real deal .

[@anthonyestevez118]

So awesome to see this beast run!

[@Diggingwithpoms]

This is wild mate specially for a small town in Victoria blown away she might not be screaming but it's streetable just needs some rear seats let the family times roll

[@dannyrexknight]

Sounds like two sixes. Sick build. Love the car. Not everything has be a v8.

[@Pablo668]

Pearler of a car, well done. I love those LC/LJ coupes. It sounds throaty for a 12.

[@deanwaring6100]

Perhaps some ground clearance and better suspension and daily drive it 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LRogan520]

Well sounds very different to what I was expecting going to be a cool LC now. You need a Ferrari style rid shop sticker now on the screen the old sticker looks out of place. Love it Heath all the best from xa wagon family in the UK.

[@LtDan-ni5rw]

Really cool combination, and I'm happy to see it finally running and driving. I'm a bit surprised at the torque numbers being kinda low. I guess I thought the torque would be closer to matching the HP on that v12. Haltech will be beneficial with any future power upgrades in the future...

[@winstoncryer7606]

Right on the Ferrari engine update😁👍👍👍

[@nv1493]

Thank you for avoiding yet another LS swap...

[@donaldreese2688]

Time for some turbos!! @DDE did it with a similar engine possibly even the same engine but seemed to work great for them they are now building a gymkhana style car with the set up

[@xuejiaoxu6778]

The car we have been waiting for

[@pgilb70]

Now that's ridiculous. Great stuff

[@ih8ubarney322]

Great work on such a Frankenstein.
