Would be cool if it was still the 2300, but the SVO/Turbo Coupe version. edit: Ecoboost 4-banger. Perfect. https://www.carvibz.com/custom-cars/sema-2022-ecoboost-powered-ford-pinto-wagon-is-a-big-turbo-answer-to-the-malaise-lethargy/ Darchangel fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Nov 7, 2022 |

HawkHill posted:Haven't seen this posted yet. Had to finish the video before commenting on this. loving cooooooooool. A big Jimmy six with a crossflow head! That big six sounds perfectly period. So, I've always been a Speed Racer/Mach Go Go Go. This is exactly how I would want a replica of the Mach 5 built. There have been a number of replicas, but few have gotten it right, the movie car being one of them *if* you want it modernized - they did a good job with that. I would be fine with that, but a 1967-period flavored version in the same vein as the Daedalus would be perfect. If you wanted to be prototype-correct, the model and drawings from the original Manga show leaf springs and a stick axle in the rear. Of course, with the Mach 5, you have to have a V12. No one has ever gotten that right. What I'm saying is that I need about a million dollars to commission this guy to build one. Vintage Ferrari or Lambo V12. Unless the Japanese had a V-12 in the '60s-70s? I would actually accept BMW, too, since the Italians would likely be problematic. Comedy option: GMC Twin Six. Or Jag. Edit: Only Japanese V12 ever is The Toyota GZ in the Century, '97-'16. Jag only started making V12s in 1971, BMW in '87. That's street engines - racing engines are another story, but potentially a *lot* more expensive. Still, if we're spending a million dollars... Honda RA121E? I'm sure they're easy to find...

So, in researching the above, I ran across this: https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/a-cadillac-v12-that-never-was/ https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-the-ohc-v12-engine-that-cadillac-almost-built/ Cadillac flirted with an OHC V12 in the early '60s!

5.0L v12 @ 9500rpm ...for how many minutes? On the stock crank?  If you're gonna go that far, might as well just get a custom crank ground for $3k and machine the block from billet

I didn't realize Tony has a new-ish show on Hagerty but I already like it, this single episode they shoehorn a $150 turbo into a V8 Lincoln and make 400whp by the end of it. No bullshit, no drama, no dragging it out for 10 episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhu3Ud3FyNE

Tony is cool and having to travel from Philly to LA to shoot was getting to him on top of the new management at MT just turning everyone into Discovery style reality TV. I dont have MT on demand anymore as it wasnt free with my classic insurance but I never watched it anyway since it was mostly garbage.
