Re: V 12 bone yard
 

George.My hope is to get the over sized pistons out and use them in some blocks that have not been over sized we will see. I have had some luck after soaking removing them thru the bottom, I use an air chisel with some thing resting on the piston and vibrate them out. George I see you are from Wisconsin. I lived in Mercer Wisc. and also Cedarburg Wisc. Bob

Glad you were able to get them, hopefully you'll be able to free a couple of them up.

Greetings Bob!

Yeah, I have lived in Wisconsin all of my life. Good luck with those engines. Sure would have been a shame for them to go for scrap iron.

Re: V 12 bone yard
 

Great that you saved them Bob, even if a small portion of the parts or assemblies will be useable! Do you or anyone have a picture of one of these beauties while in-service on an irrigation system? I for one would find that extremely interesting.

Wow....how amazing. I wonder how many of these you can make whole again and then make run.....would be cool to take one of these engines on a trailer behind a V6 equipped GMC truck to car shows in the summer and crank it in front of the crowd....

Re: V 12 bone yard
 

That is my plan, I have a 64 Gmc suburban 305 4speed I want to pull it with. I also want to have a crosley 4cyl. next to the 702 ,To show some contrast. Bob

Re: V 12 bone yard
 

Could stage the little Crosley 4 cylinder motor as a pony engine to the V-12 for starting - like the old John Deere 2 cylinder and Cat 6 cylinder diesels - that way you could show that - "size does matter" :upyes:

Re: V 12 bone yard
 

That could cool.
