Lincoln v12 flathead

Does anyone have some information on these engines? Does anyone sell a rebuild kit and a cam for them?

 

Kanters probably sells rebuild parts. Hot rod goodies are almost imposible to find.

 

Both Edmunds and Edelbrock made dual intakes for them, but you almost never see them.

 

By the way. The origional "hot rod lincoln" song was a 12 cyl lincoln but since most people had never heard of a 12 cyl lincoln they changed the song to 8 cyl.

 

there was an edmunds intake on ebay a few weeks ago. opening bid was $5k.

egge has the pistons, etc for them I think.

 

Alot of stuff at the lincoln-zephyr owners club site. Looks like they are serious about restoration, so be discrete.

Here's a pic of a v12 cam card I found on ebay it went for 5 or 6 six hundred but you can have a cam ground for way less. I got an edmunds intake off ebay for $350 as it was listed as "a flathead ford intake" Need more info pm me LTR Dave

 

my boss at work is restoring a 30's lincoln with a V!@ in it. this car is cherry. hes just doing a paint job on it, but i took a pic of the engine with my phone while i was helping take the car apart. sorry about the quality, i need a new phone.

 

I believe that egge sells parts for them,if not im sure they can tell you where you can get parts,go get a hemmings motor news book,they have everything in it,its like a bible for cars guys.

Try www.austinrodshop.com if you need aluminum heads and an intake for a V12. They may also know where to look for a cam.

If you need a spare block I have one from a 48 Lincoln that showed 33,900 miles when I pulled it. Good luck.

 

Saw this on a '39 Lincoln couple years back in Montana. The guy told me it was the only one he knew about!

 

Egge will sell you a rebuild kit for about $2,400. This includes a regrind of your cam. You may also call Chris at Boos Herrel in PA. His number is 215-965-8296. I know he had cams a couple of weeks ago he probabaly has rebuild kits.

If ya really get stuck, send me a PM in a couple of weeks. I may have a bunch of V12 parts if all goes well.

They have rebuilt many Ford V 12's and have about 1 or 2 in the shop right now. Bob

 

Thanks for all the info. Anyone know the value of a good engine?

 

I think that might be www.cdsengine.com

 

That's tough to say but here's my guess.

Basic block, seized , missing parts $300 - $500

Complete but seized $750 - $1,000

Free and complete (good luck finding one) $1,500 -$2,000

Running but not rebuilt $ 3, 500 - $5,000

 

I'm in need of the timing cover and Distributor for my Lincoln V12.
Anyone...???

I know a Lincoln motor rebuilder. He does the old ones and is an expert. His name is Jeff Norwil and his number is 253 446-1040, Washington state.

 

Picked up this 1945 motor with an xtra block for cheap,,prices are hard to figure on these as to some folks they're gold,,but to others the look at them like "good luck finding parts" you def. want to try and find a complete one

 

If I had only known!
I took my drivers test in my dad's '51 Lincoln. (V12)

And to think he sold the WHOLE CAR for $800.00!!

 

Were'nt they the big 337 V8's by that time??

 

The Canadian Lincolns continued to use the V12 (US leftovers!) until 1952.

 

There is a Edmunds Lincoln V12 dual intake manifold on Ebay now: End time Jan. 31,2009 around 6:51 PM., 6 Bids so far: $108.05 (reserve not met).

Here were 2 for sale at the 2007 hunnertcarpileup swap in the chicago area. I forget the price.

 

Looking at the picture, memory tells me it was the 2 motors for 1 price, $1200.oo Boy, it looks like those outer cylinders would of been starving for fuel (compared with the inside cylnders) with that stock intake.I've always wondered where the hot rods with these motors were at... now thats a sight that would be worth creaming over...

 

rod hadfield who used to own casltemain rod shop in australia has 1 in his 29 pick up that he took to america a few years back. he wud b a gud source but maybe to far away. bet hed know all there is to know bout em. he b easy to google.

 

I know where there is a complete running one still in the car and I am patiently waiting!

 

We sold whole motors for round 1000,,these engines are nice to look at ,,but not much power

 

You sure about that? Somebody that knows can please jump in but the 40s flathead 12 engines have the #1 reputation for being dogs. They shouldn't be confused with the earlier 12s that were huge and heavy but powerful. I believe there are some fundamental restrictions in the design that prevent helping them much... but again I could be wrong as I've never owned one myself.
