Forgot about that one. There's another one out there. Pretty sure, anyway. It's a custom body effort he was foam forming. Haven't heard of it in a couple.
Here it is.

I've currently got the 4.9 in my Aventador build. However, since I've stretched it 11", I will definitely be upgrading to a longitudinal engine. Top of my list is BMW V12. I still need to research more about available mods though

The Lambo and Ferrari engines are high $$ to maintain. I have suppliers in Miami that own them and tell me a tune up is $25k, so even if I was given one I couldn't afford nor would pay that much for maintenance.
Somewhere on the web was an article about 2 women who bought a 308 Ferrari to fix and flip. The engine needed a lot of simple parts that shouldn't be expensive, but I believe that repair was $10k plus.
Thats why I like my Mera with N*; more HP than the 308 was and much easier and cheaper to fix.

The Northstar is noted as pricey to rebuild compared to OHV engines and is more complex. The Audi V10 is just like the V6 and V8 versions which are similar to the N* in design. Audi finally went with timing chains in mid 2000s, but there are still wear parts associated. The Gallardo version of the same base V10 requires much shorter major service intervals than the S6, but is similar to the RS6 Euro-V10.
If you want a faithful copy of a Lambo V12 car, a V12 makes more sense than a V10, but I'd be perfectly fine with a V10 and 435 hp N/A.

The Lamborghini Miura (My Fav' Lambo) had a transverse V12.....
I suspect that most of these exotic engines would be very heavy....an LS4 is an easier installation and can be pumped to over 400 hp......

Having seen a Miura in person I can honestly say a ls will not sound as good as the lambo v12. [This message has been edited by jdv (edited 11-10-2020).]

The Chrysler TC by Maserati used a Chrysler-derived Turbo II (III?) 2.2 short block with a Maserati designed 16V head. Those engines are still reasonable to obtain, although the Maserati head needs a lot of work to be reliable. Those cars were even available with the Getrag 284 transmission.
So if you were building a Maserati kit car, you could put a real Maserati engine in it, with the Trident on the valve cover and everything.
There was also a Lotus 16V head for the same short block... but I don't know which model it was used in.
