I'm going to put a turbo /6 in one of these cars, that's pretty far down on the list, but someday if I live long enough.

Now that would be a different way to go with one of them!
I've seen some of these cars with a /6 in them. Looks positively lonely in the engine compartment.
what about bolting a couple of /6s together to make a V12 ?

Gas hog LOL.

Not really, the angle between the banks would be 60° not 90.

The driver's side bank of the V-12 would have the intake & exhaust coming out and sitting on the fender.

Is it just me, or are there still no pics of this car?

Not if you turned it around. Intakes in the middle on the top. Exhaust in the middle on the bottom.

Counter rotating banks on a V-12... Hmmm...
Of course not. Even in Florida there must be boats with twin /6s in them. One spins in the normal direction, the other spins in the opposite direction. Getting an engine to run reverse rotation isn't hard at all.
Way to highjack the thread. I figure if Chrysler can bolt two inline fours together to make a straight 8 in the Atlantic, and lop two cylinders off of a 360 to make a 3.9L V6, (a friend of mine who worked at Windsor Engine at the time actually did that and sent his running engine over to Highland Park for evaluation) or add two cylinders onto a 360 and make a V10, then you should be able to trim two slant six crankcases, make up a new crank and bearing caps and have a 7.4L V12.
OK, "maybe" you'd need to refine the bottom end of the /6 block to make it deep skirt before you create the 30° angles at the bottom, but there's really no reason it wouldn't work. Hell, they put five inline sixes on a common crankcase and made a tank engine!
If you put twin /6s together, you'd be 2/5 of the way to a new tank engine. LOL!!!!

I have nothing to add to the V12 convo, but I did get the Fury painted. It turned out really nice if I say so myself, even though we did it in my garage. Black paint laid out real nice and will look great after a cut and buff. There is a little dust, but should come out with the buff. My son took some good pics and will load them tonight. They are in the garage so not the best pics. I am waiting on one part for the clutch linkage so I cant really move it easily yet. I hope to have the clutch issue fixed by the end of the week and then will be able to get some nice outside shots. I also had my son get some shots of the shifter and underside for commando1. I hope they will be what you wanted!
The standard transmission in a 70 RR was a 3 speed manual behind the 383 and other B body cars when the 383 box was checked, unless you up ordered the 4 speed. The 3 speed manual was done to keep the sticker price under $3K in the RR .. not that many were actually produced though.
The V10 shares bore size with the 360 and the basic block design. But the 360 block ends at the centerline of the crank whereas the V10 is a deep skirt block which adds huge stiffness and support for the crank. Ford's V10 is a 4.6/5.4 V8 with two more cylinders attached. Chrysler chose to keep solid single pins on the crank where Ford drew up a split-pin crank.
There's a basic rule of engine design that says that to maintain balance multi-cylinder, multi-bank four stroke engines must fire at the number of degrees obtained by dividing the number of cylinders in to 720°. So for V10s, that's 72°. Both the Viper and Ford V10s have 90° blocks. Ford's split pin crank allows the firing to occur at 72° intervals, but still requires some help from a balance shaft, located approximately where the camshaft would otherwise go.
The Viper achieves its balance by behaving like two inline 5 cylinder engines, lashed to a common crankcase. That's why a Viper has such a unique (ok, weird) exhaust sound.
Going into this requires way more space and way more time than I want to put into it. I'd rather be reading about how miket is doing with his conversion.
