Just think if Ford had used this guy's V-12 diesel engine design instead of the infamous 6 leaker.

You can tell that dude doesn't drink real coffee. What a masterpiece of incredible workmanship and talent.

That is extremely neat. Is it running on diesel or compressed air? It looks like a tube is running into the intake or air filter. I thought the thing on the back was the injector pump but I didn't see any hoses running to it.

[Ianab]

Yeah, it running on compressed air.

No cooling and no oil pump... Wouldn't last very long if it was running on any sort of fuel...

I'm not certain but it appears that compresser is acting as scavenging air .

A really nice "mini" diesel V12 is the VW 5.5L V12 TDI, also 5.0L V10, 4.2L V8, and 3.6/3.2L V6 TDI's

All I can say is WOW!! That is a work of art. The twin cam set up is really neat.
