V12 LS Camaro Engine Build

[@tjmoneybags]

Great piece of work. Also I saw Supercar Blondie in there!

[@gman7949]

Excellent engineering Shane.

THIS IS A OZZY DESIGN AND BUILD SMART BOY THAT SHANE DUDE

[@sparkimoto]

This type of bore/stroke ratio was what I had in mind for my V12 build. Since a V12 doesn't have to rev as high as a V8 to match the same [ cylinder firing/time ] ratio, it seems that by building a shorter stroke V12 that could push the Torque & HP peaks up higher, you could build a motor that performs like a V8 @ 10,000 RPMs that only needs to run at 8,000! Numbers are used as examples, not to be taken literally as exact calculations! The advantage here is that you are not pushing the V12 motor past the limitations of an under head, push rod design!

[@V12LS]

That's a good point @sparkimoto

[@TTGTO288]

On the surface, that sounds great, but with a V12 like that come more headaches, like, for instance torsional crankshaft twist, more valvetrain harmonics, etc ... it's not so much a question of RPM either ... Plus, this is a one off build made by one company and while it is very cool, who do you go to for parts? Them and they got you by the short hairs on price ... not to mention the headaches and fab that it takes to get it into the car. While cool, not very practical from any standpoint.

This is what the new Corvette should have for a engine

[@K-Effect]

Time to build a V16

[@playgt326]

Rezvani must adopt this engine for its 2023 Rezvani 1000HP hypercar, a 1000HP twin turbocharged V12LS engine that runs on e fuels. 🤩🏎️♻️

[@James-zj3ud]

Gday V12LS I know you blokes specialise mainly in LS design V12s but I wonder if playing around with the old aussie Holden V8 and turning THAT into a V12 also would be out of the question down the track? A place called Torque power cast their own Holden blocks both for big cubes and for factory 5ltr displacement and I've heard that the Holden heads have superior head design (from the VN onward) with port layout and 6 degree valves.. Would 12 cylinders benefit from that more so than a V8 might? One can only wonder.. 🤞

[@sammy13nation94]

Someday, I'm gonna mid-mount one of those in the bed of my S10

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

I read that the LS V8 engine is light compared to V12 engines ( of the old day ? ). I would like to see power per weight in comparison to a modern V12 like the one from BMW in the F1 or the Mercedes in the Pagani Zonda. Or can we get hands on V12 from a luxury car and tune it? Why lower the compression ratio? So that it can run low octane fuel? Instead, a rev limiter could work in combination with even less fat lobes on the cam.

[@chaseleim4773]

Love the a,notions but mows the time to start making v12 hemis

[@kevryck7127]

Yeah put it in a 1980 to 81 Chevy Camaro Z28 3 carburetors 666 cubic-inch at least 1200 horsepower

[@miguelamaya6246]

This is AWESOME, how much is a motor and a transmission together? I have a 1967 Csmero...

[@V12LS]

Pricing is on V12ls.com, the guy that won this is very lucky!

[@liljohnp132]

Gotta Love those Aussies.

[@pavingllc6027]

Hey guys at v12 ls when will you guys bring us the next generation lt direct injection v12 lt based gm motors come on we need need to hear a direct injection v12 🥰

[@nathanielh7677]

Wait, how do I enter to win that car!?

[@V12LS]

Sorry Nathaniel, already won and going through the inspection process before delivery to the very lucky new owner.

[@kevryck7127]

And then get a 1969 Camaro and then put a V8 engine in it LS with 800 horsepower

[@Logan-ce2uh]

655 in.³ incredible job guys. Now would you please go put it in an airplane.PS don’t forget the turbos

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

Really it had to be u der 500CI? Still alot but didnt know that was a law there

[@V12LS]

In Australia it depends on the vehicle classification the engine is going in. In this case we had to be within a % of the largest manufacturer option for the chassis.

[@joshlewis5065]

Upload more get your name out there

[@kevryck7127]

Then make a V10 with a 1971 Camaro with 1000 horsepower

[@playgt326]

And running on renewable diesel HVO, e fuels or green hydrogen. 😉🏎️♻️

[@ViaAvione]

Insane!

[@chrisferguson1911]

So, if you destroked it, what bore and stroke did it end up with? I am really hoping for 4.125 x 3.268.

[@V12LS]

In this case we had to be under 500ci so went with a 4" bore and 3.267" stroke giving 493 CI / 8.1L. A big bore, short stroke would be cool though.

[@dougbackman7788]

@@V12LS Was there ever any testing done with a stock LS7 4.125 bore and 4" stroke arrangement / 10.5L? I know it wouldn't rev as high/fast but the low end torque numbers would probably be impressive.

[@TheSpazinChaz]

V12 swap the new Corvette

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Et ci on veux en acheter un moteur est quoi sont prix please

[@rhdjdmda6]

Pop on some shanghai spooly bois on this engine please.

[@jimjam13]

I wanna see a v10 that’s based off the ls7

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

One compresseur the v12 il donnera tout ce qui peut avec un big compresseur style mad max deja c est bien ca

[@keithsage1593]

I want 2 for my boat..

[@bubbamontague8867]

put that engine in a 2020 Silverado ss reg cab short bed

[@TTGTO288]

This is really cool, but for what it costs, it's power level isn't all that impressive. Could make the same streetable horse with a big V8 and have many more cylinder head, cam, header and intake options ... And, imagine all the mods and headaches to fit it into a car.

[@sebdupree1]

5:54-6:09

[@kevryck7127]

Put it in a 1981 Chevy Camaro or Z28

[@kevryck7127]

And put three carburetors on it and put it 666 cubic inch

[@886rickjames]

V12 swap a new suburban

[@doogie525]

Sorry fellas, but for a V12 with that kind of displacement with no air filters those numbers are disappointing. I'm a fan of the work and design effort but not the output numbers

[@V12LS]

Thanks for taking an interest. This one was severely restricted by Engineering requirements for street registration in a giveaway car. Link to video with more detail below. It was challenging making a low enough number to keep them happy given the same engine makes over 750HP with a better cam and compression. Not surprisingly around 1.5x the same specs in a V8.

[@doogie525]

@@V12LS That is totally understandable and believable. Looks like some great engineering went into it. I especially notice the added head bolts around each cylinder makes it seem like you have forced induction planned for the future.
