Why rebuild a V12? They don't wear out nor do they tend to break. (They're built impossibly strong) If someone broke it because of a lack of oil or water, $1000- 1500 will get you a good replacement. (Check car-parts.com) The rest of it is pretty simple compared to it's German or Italian counterparts

That's a pretty awesome car. Needs a few updates (ugh, that exhaust!) but really pretty cool.

In reply to Cotton:

Yep! This is a replacement for that. 08, 4x4 with the frame extended 36",all aluminum 12' box. I'll make a build thread at some point, it's just a bare box.

I'm going to email about it! Looks too good to be a $2900 Benz, even needing coil packs etc, so we'll see what they have to say.

Edit: ahh damn it I read the fine print and the $2900 is the minimum down payment. Oh well, probably for the best.

Custom single TB because it was rule advantageous not the best set up.

Be careful with those. Many teams weren't able to finish due to failures.

As far as the Dif, probably a civic, very popular amoung bike engined crowd and the are cheap with multiple sources and styles.
