Good luck man, can't wait to see this. One question: How are you managing with so many projects going on at once? Hhahaha

I don't sleep. I work 50 hours a week at my day job, go to the shop all night, then come home and work on the business stuff until 2am. Then wake up at 5am to do it all over again lol. I think its time to quit my job and just run Motor Mavericks.

I'm still managing though. The Mercedes is almost ready to start going back together so that should start moving fast again. Been slowly collecting parts for the AWD 2.5T swap in the MK6. Hopefully I can gather everything I need before spring and just bang it out in a few weeks or so before SoWo. I need to pick out a new daily before I do that though which is really what's holding me up. I really want a Porsche GT3 lol.

How bout an M70 with Fluid Motor Union ITB's poking through the hood? The v12 would kinda jive with the "prestige" of the old RR and the ITB would scream hot rod. The FMU units just look super cool.

Yes I completely agree that would look amazing!

What about like a bmw v12 from the older 7 series or 8 series.

This was my first thought as well. Would fit perfect. Not to mention that the BMW V12 looks amazing...

[R31 Mark]

so keen to see this progress!

Big money for those pieces right there man. You are a lucky dude. I only wish one day I can come across something as prestigious and beautiful as that. Do it justice (as I know you will!)

[loekaaz]

also voting for the bmw v12

LS swap with ITB would be pretty sweet, make power, be light, and have a lot of aftermarket support. But I see why you would want to sway away from it.

A German straight six would sound nice with the RR and could be set up to fit the look of the car too. For how much power the chassis can handle, you might be able to get away with an I4.

You could try to source a Bentley 6 3/4 engine. Possibly slap a supercharger on it.

Power wise, a turbo would be nice and add some sound. But I think it might wreck the look.

Or diesel.

How about the toyota 1gzfe with itb's? 310hp, torque for days, and its a v12. Due to the design of the intake manifold you could run quad throttle bodies using the lower intake manifold. or bin that and run 12 itbs.

I want to see a 4bt cummins in that thing! Please! haha

Aside from the shear weight this would be perfect.

I just want to see it in the garage already....

I just want to see it in the garage already....

As do I sir, if I can find a truck it'll be Tuesday.

The only acceptable engine for this build is the 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin V12 from a goddamn Spitfire



Do it, you know you want to.
