Agreed. Do you have any photos of the build as it happened? That car needs its own thread. One of the coolest cars I've seen on Gtp that a member owns.

Anyone else ever heard of a Ford Maverick with a V10 Dodge Viper engine under the hood?

I've always wanted to put 2 v12s into a Lincoln Continental. I guess that's just as good :lol:

I saw that not too long ago. Today I saw a beater Maverick that screamed sleeper. For a while, it had a turbo 2.3L that would run 8 second 1/8th miles and get 30 mpg when he daily drove it. Now it's got a single turbo 460. Lights the tires up at speed.

A 2xV12 continental? O.o That sounds crazy. Wait, wouldn't that make it a W24. :lol:

That is...Amazing!

Yes, but there would be enough room in the bay for it... freakin massive.
Maybe in thinking of a Cadillac... or both...I forgot
 
Engine bay room wouldn't be the issue, the problem would lie behind them. How in the world would you make room to mate dual transmissions or run a single belt over both flywheels into one transmission? Only way I see it happening is by relocating radiators and moving everything extremely far forward.

Needless to say, it would be a badass build for sure.




Or better yet, you could stuff in a Ford built but designed by Pratt and Whitney R-4360. Ford made the -53, -59, and -63 models. 28 cylinder, supercharged, twin turbo, air cooled, four row radial piston aircraft engine. 4,363 cubic inches, or 72 liters. Makes 4,300 horsepower and roughly 6,500 lb-ft of torque. Sucks down 200 gallons an hour of 115 octane gasoline at full throttle lol. Woudn't spin more than 4,500 rpm :lol:

That looks like the entire thing spins, lol. God... put that in the back of a Chevy Astro or Ford e350 (I think that's their brand of vans? Idk) and you have THE ultimate sleeper.

What about that 1 Ford that has 2 engines and quad-supercharged? I mean, that's a lot more customizable bit that only had 1 transmission.
 
Finishing up on my latest project: 1970 Dodge Superbee, 440 six pak, Auto.

AAAAAAH DUUUUUUUUUDE GO TO HELLLLLLLLL :crazy:

That is my my favorite Mopar, I loooooooove the twin front grilles of the 70 Coronet/Super Bee! Some years ago I was actually half a day away from buying a 318 secretary special 70 Coronet but some guy beat me to it and gave the guy more money. Then life got in the way and I never got the chance to look for another one.

your car looks awesome in white! I would have never thought about hat color combo. I absolutely agree that this thing needs it's own thread, very very very cool car, you did me with this one đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť

I know, that would be insane hahaha.

The engines run into a single transmission. It wouldn't be so wide with double 460s but it would be a very very very hard conversion. Maybe 2 small block V8's. Those two 4.6Ls were wider than the front of the car itself.
 
@ Slashfan, Yes I have the entire tear down and rebuild on a dvd. 4 years worth!

@ Cano, Thanks Man! The Superbee was a labor of love! It's a keeper no doubt!
