a 5 litre V12, longitudinal? sounds ideal for my stratos rebuild. i'd been thinking along such lines, but knowing what gearbox to use was a stumbling block. mind, 300bhp seems a little soft - my V6 2.7L puts out 200bhp without tuning. would i appreciate the extra 100bhp considering the extra weight of the engine, plus extending and bracing the chassis? also, the handling gonna be way different.
or perhaps if it was transverse?
sorry, no help to you, just thinking out loud.
