I have a complete 401, and a Continental V-12 sittin on a pallet at my uncles garage. I have had them for years, just sitting there. I should do something with them at some point....

Did you do just the rear main mod, or did equalize the galleries & crossdrill the crank too?

The crank is cross drilled and knife edged and the mod was done from the front to the rear gallery boss..

I wanna see the build thread. How long will the nose be , or how far inside the tub will the V-12 reside? Pics , Pics , I can hardly wait. :laugh::laugh:
Why?? you wanna put that old Conti in there???It came out of an American LeFrance ladder truck. I have no idea what to do with it, but man it sure looks cool.

Those 12's are the friggin bomb. Ever been to a tractor pull and hear one get up on point? Pure awesomeness..... 
One of my buddies has a fully operational Alison V-12 in his garage.

I have now made arrangements and I'm picking the 401 up over the Memorial Day weekend... I even took a few days off just to be sure I can get it! Woo Hoo!
