I mentioned in the entry before this one that Mike Dwyer has two Jamaicans. His first is a big block V8, and in this one he’s installing a BMW V12 driveline… Probably the only V12 Jamaican in the world?

I’ll give him a 10 for hubris. I would rather see a Jag v-12 go in with Lucas wiring. That would be 20 points.
A Jag V12 is easier to get & set up, but it is big and heavy & it has the distributor on the top in the midlle , so the intake runners have to bend outward. Downdraft carbureturs are a good way to go, but expensive. The BMW V12 is harder to set up (outside of a BMW) but I think it is a better engine.

I sure do want to see pictures of that whole car when you are finished.
Well done!
First, is this Jamaican for sale? If it is are you located? I am interested in buying a Jamaican. If you are selling or know someone that is please e-mail me.
Thank you very much
