How big is your budget?  Why not just buy the real thing?

No more so than if you were building the 700 hp monster that was mentioned at the beginning

That's engine only, you have to keep in mind that you'll need bigger oil and inter cooler on the V12

Also your gearbox and running gear will have to be stronger and heavier

Your rear tube frame and mountings where the V12 sits will need to be thicker, stronger, heavier

This is the rear suspension of the Gordini we building, we are building it to have a 900hp/1000kg ratio

not quite on the weight
the BMW (M70) come in at 500# I am guessing the M120 is less than 60# more natural

So as I was sitting on the workshop floor and staring at the Gordini we are building it hit me....weight !

I did some research and with my rough calculation the V12 will weigh +- 500lbs more than the 4 cylinder engine and cost 4 times more to get to 800hp

The only upside is the sound of the V12 and it will probably have double the torque

Allot of good info !!!!

Just to clear it all up

What V12 twin turbo engine is the best to go for ?

What N/A V12 is the best ?

I've also read that these engines had mojore cooling issues I don't think that will be a problem in the Aventador's body.

The biodegradable wiring harness was used from 1991-1995, NOT 1995-2000

I was looking hard at the 95 to 2000 model until I read all the horror stories with the wiring in the engine compartment that runs behind the engine gets too hot and the insilation on the wires goes brittle and things short out its very common the wire was only designed to last a few years  merc did nothing about it

The earlier m120 is far better. Plus the cars are cheaper .

You really want to avoid the 2000-2002. Besides being more expensive ,
Those later engines up to 2002 have problems with the oil cooler that's in the V of the engine . And the electronics are fully mated to the car so you have to use the engine transmission gear lever and key . Otherwise it will not run.

The older m120 is not so tied into everything and you can use the Cima transmission that Pagani used

Yep, you are right Tusabes. The twin turbo came out in 2003. I had my dates a little off. The 1998 - 2002 are still nice and powerful (362HP) and they get better gas mileage at 16 MPG combined. Still a great option.

This is what I can get http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies/other-eastern-cape/2002-mercedes+benz-s600-6-0-v12-must-go-in-next-three-days/1001213753410910000043609

It's the W220 with the 5.5L V12 Bi-turbo engine 493hp


No that's not the bi turbo ! The turbo came out in 2003 and is very different just by looking at the engine

2000-2002 are the worst years to get .
