Different, that's for sure!

I know - I like!!
 
Now that is just trick. I have a couple of Jag V12s, and IRS units I keep around with something like that in mind, but the length of the V12 makes finding an appropriate "car" more difficult. Gotta love thinking out of the box.
 
I like them. Nice looking engines that should scoot right along.
 
Thanks Nial - Very Cool. While I like and respect the Chevrolet small block, with their more than widespread use there's not much visual excitement looking at a rod with one in the engine bay.
So when it's out of the ordinary - its got my attention (and usually my admiration).
Here are some others (Including a possible idea of what to do with that V12 of yours Jesse):

Yeah, those really grab my attention!

I've seen some 4 cylinder Ford Duratech engines in street rods, and I kind of like that direction. The SBC is a great engine, but it's been "done" (like a zillion times).

And I like the nose on the first one: looks like Tim Allen's Moal roadster.
 
Saw a V 12 Jag in an MGA, the body of which was made to look something like a Cobra. This was at the Clinton NJ show this past June. Nice experiment in engineering but not to my taste.
 
I love the stacks sticking out from those triple webers on that 6. I also really dig the Alfas, they look great in those engine bays.
