Holy crap! Great looking build! And the hood closing is just the icing on the cake! So does this swap make the LS swap out of date?

Yes, it's official. The LS swap is out of date. The V 12 engine will be a passing fad also. Atlas rocket motors will be the next craze. That's official!

I have no idea. My professional opinion is that the power will be adequate. Think freight train. In the end my butt will be the judge. Ill let you know what It says in a few months.

No heart beat yet. No tuning information is available for Toyota V12 engines. Ive gathered all the Megasquirt stuff needed. Now I just gotta figure it out.
