Seems very few guys have gone this deep. You are in a club with very few members, as even most career mechanics won't touch these cars. After building a couple of V12s, I feel much more confident in ownership. Ask away, and i'll give what advice I can. Building a 6.0 at the time to go in my 89 convertible.
