Well, I really would like to replace the engine with a V8 instead of the V12 simply because it would be a lot easier. I have a line on a Nickasil engine with (supposedly) 64K miles. I can buy it pretty reasonably but I don't want to get stuck with an engine that needs or will soon need a rebuild. I would appreciate the casting number for the Alusil engine if you could pass it on. Any idea on a ballpark cost for an Alusil? Were there any common problems with the Alusil engines? What transmission will work with the V8 engines? I have a trans from a V12 that is good. Thanks for your help.
