- The time has finally come to see if Real Deal runs and drives!!
Cavills Performance has done an Amazing job getting this sorted!
Massive thanks goes out to Matt and the crew at Cavill's Performance and the team at Haltech for what they have achieved getting the Ferrari v12 up and running.
Ferrari about to send a cease and desist letter for making their V12 sound like an ecotec 😂 hope to see some nice pipes on it soon
I was thinking that it definitely sounds like two 6 cykinder commodores drag racing. Definitely cool though.
Sounds shit house
@@DontBeDraft85I mean a v12 is 2 inline 6s put in a v just like a v8 is 2 inline 4s put in a v a cross plane v8 is 2 cross plane inline 4s and a flat plane v8 is 2 flat plane inline 4s
@sebdupree1 You mean with equal length headers 12 into 2 it would sound like a V12 not two 6 cylinder commodores? Thanks for heads up.
nah there toooo busy keeping an eye on DDE lol
Got to be honest, I was expecting a screaming V12 and it wasn't.
And more power...thats like ls1 power 🥺
I know these guys can do as they please and whatever, me personally i liked the 8 that was in it.
that trans is sucking a lot of power out of it
This is the 5.7 litre v12 not the 6 or 6.5 litre. It was never going to sound how people thought it would.
needs a 12 to 1 exhaust then it would scream
Anyone else feel the powerglide kinda lets it down? Would have been way cooler with the ferrari transmission or a dct or sequential box
Yes and No I feel like the rev limiter and engine choice let It down what happened to the 12 thousand RPM screaming monster was supposed to be?
Xtrac or similar would be epic.
would hae been way cooler with an 8hp90 8 speed. could have used a stock trans, and the turbo lamik tcu for about $3500 and it runs with any ecu and drives like factory bmw/hellcat with the 8 speed.
Build one then!
Fuk yeah...! When you doing that....?
Nice build boys definitely need to work on that exhaust note with that pipe set up
When you fit a Ferrari V12 but a 202 with triples sounds better!! Maybe a different exhaust config. Even Harry's garage Jag V12 sounds more V12-y than this currently.
A 202 with triples never makes power past 4000rpm, they just make noise and hiss. The 186 was a better revving motor, and boring them to 202 whilst keeping the 186 head for higher compression was the better way to go. The factory 202 was never as good as a big bore 186. Even then, they didn't make power after a certain rev range, the dyno printouts always showed either a drop off or a flatline.
@@TorquilBletchleySmythe Maybe in the old days. How about an 8000rpm 202 with 300+ HP at the wheels? ua-cam.com/video/B5HKKKktlzA/v-deo.htmlsi=lj9L-eVmf7lkraD-
@@TorquilBletchleySmythethanks info guy
@@Mac-zl4po my work is done here.
Congratulations on the intense build.. Definitely not what I was expecting to hear from the usual sound of a Ferrari but that's what makes it unique. Enjoy the fruits of your labour, patience and passion Bud
Maybe a new/better exhaust system to get the Ferrari sound?
Titanium back half
So good to see that you've finally got the Real Deal Torana moving under its own power finally. . Well done to all involved.
Straight pipes to the diff in titanium will give it the scream .
Congrats awesome build ❤
Yeah, that's what it's missing. Doesn't sound like a Ferrari without the scream.
Straight piping isn't allowed here.
@@carisi2k11 You can run whatever you want as long as you retain cats as long as it doesn't exceed the dB limit and the exit location complies with whatever arbitrary nonsense they've come up with.
@@dyIanVIIit’s pretty unlikely that straight pipe would pass those rules
@@pieflies Realistically you could run cats + resonators to get it *just* below the dB limit not under load and it'd sound very similar.
I absolutely love this car, but it's a bit of a shock now hearing it sound like my mum's vacuum cleaner. Especially after the last engine it had in it. 😂
Lucky my brother's LC two door had a 138, if we had that V12, God would be writing this. So bloody fantastic. Well done to your vision, persistence and collaborators.
Its not about a million hp its the point of doing sumthing different and the engineering behind it all its a first its legendary see it for wat it is. Great feat guys well done.
Sounds weird not having that V8 noise but it just goes to show regardless of what power plant you stick under the bonnet of any car, you end up with a beast if it's done right. Great job guys!
Well you've made the V6 commodore community happy by using the sound effects from a VT V6 to hide the iconic Ferrari sound for the video.
Sweet!! From the US here and Cleetus fan.
Love this build and awesome to see the Warbird again!
I've got to say, that's probably right on the edge of the right amount of crazy, what a creation!
I'm stunned. It sounds like a well tuned Holden 6. (Even the belt screams)
Don't know how you've done it but MINT!
I’m predicting the power glide will eventually go.
A close ratio 5 or 6 speed manual is what a high revving Ferrari V12 is screaming out for.
Wow what a sound idling sounds like a V8- Diesel - Ferrari 🤙 maybe two and a half inch straight through it's pretty quiet unique sound
what a beast to "go down to the local shops". Absolutely amazing. I had one back in the 1980s with a 186 and you have put me to shame!
That tuner guy knows wat he's talking bout brother
Never thought I'd hear those words together: "Powerglide behind a Ferrari!" Wow, unreal, certainly different from an LS!
Well done back on the road 👏& full circle. Sounds like a Holden 6 again.
What an amazing combination !!! damn that Torrie looks tough and the rear tubs needed to fit that rubber in was totally worth it ... Big Respect Man !! There is a shitload of work going into that rare beast ... absolutely well done .. next time im passing through Castlemaine i hope to see it enjoying some time outside.
Never been this hyped to see a build done
Pretty funny to think "its aiming to be a daily"... and its powered by a ferrari V12... 😂
Absolutely fantastic to see this little beast driving!
The Ferrari identifies as an ecotec 😂
I've heard much better sounding barras
Yep what a let down
Great to see it running down the road now. Awesome job folks.
so good to see it up and running,i often wondered if it would end in tears but you pulled it off congrats now to make it sound like v12.
Mate what a rippa !!!! Luv every bit of it. You built a toad runna just the way YOU wanted it.
YES!!! all the POWER
Nice one fellas. SHMICKO
Well done. Been watching and never thought that it would run let alone turn the wheels
Very nice mate, bhp is not everything if it was you’d have never pulled the 8 I’m guessing. Engineering standpoint alone she’s a 10
Nice job, men! Don’t listen to the folks that didn’t like this or that about it. Change only what you don’t like! You’ve done well at breaking outside the box and then stepping on it! You’ve made it work, made it unique, made it yours and that’s all that matters!
The mariachi band for the intro song is absolutely perfect! ❤ WELCOME TO MEXICOO BABY! 🇲🇽
Awesome to finally see this beast on the road. But thought it'd have a few more horses than what its got. Not too worry, it's on the road & it smokes the tyres & that's what matters. Now what do we call it? Is it a Torari or a Ferrana? LOL. Who cares, Great to finally see it on the road.
Congrats on the immense effort,energy.expertise and money poured into this very very unique engine swap .... I hope you enjoy mate for years to come and I'm sure you'll change things along the way. What most counts is your very very happy with the result and that what counts ....👍
Nice work. I learn a lot from you. Much appreciation.
Happy it runs and drives. Wish i could afford to be different. Good job gentleman.
Y'all certainly do things different in the Land Down Under! I amire your crazy ideas and execution of said crazy ideas!
Thanks for keeping the Castlemaine rod shop at the forefront of excellence in engineering. Rod would be so proud of what you are doing, true blue Aussies.
Is this the only channel you follow mate? Loads of great ones out there
HELL YEAH BROTHER WHAT A BADAZZ CAR AND WE DEFINITELY MISS WARBIRD AT CLEETUS AND CARS HOPEFULLY ONE DAY YOU CAN COME DOWN TO THE STATES AND DRIVE TOAST AT THE FREEDOM FACTORY THAT WOULD BE BADAZZ ALSO 😂
Glad to see you getting to drive it and it's not as much power as a big block Chevy but the Cool factor is there
And this is why iv always enjoyed Aussie car builds, they can do your normal crazy then there's absolute REAL DEAL crazy!
Fuawk boys it sounds like a automatic ve omega in limp mode 😂😂 where did we go wrong on the exhaust setup
Absolutely love the body on this. Awesome work, buy the beater a beer any day. Legend Lc.
"It's alive!...It's alive!!!"
Frankenstein's latest creation.
The Ferrana.
Hopefully you can make it sound better soon
Fantastic. 😊 wish I was rich I’d pay anything to have that car she’s awesome now a nice paint job would make it amazing
Wow can't wait to hear it run on all 12 cylinders? Sounds funny running on 6cyl
Now you can have red dice on the rear vision mirror, that is some excellent spanner work and auto electrical work as well.
Amazing build lads, congratulations
Great to see it finally up running, a dream combination 🤙
Awesome work Matty
Ive been waiting for this upload for so long 👌
So cool to see this creation rolling down the street. Good work boys!!
That ferrari motor appears to hate having that sludge box on it .
Love the channel fellas long time sub .. but to be completely honest not my thing but great job though 💪
His thing is mental.
One question tho.
Are those air cleaners going to suck in hot air from the exhaust headers?
Incredible engineering and bloody proud that we have the skills and brains locally that can do this stuff ,
Very cool !
I dont think the video audio does it justice, but this is a world first well done guys, looking forward to seeing it at summernats 👍
Excellent project. So very well done!
Well done , sounding pretty smooth . Should be able to rip 10s with that power level .
I liked the firing order. Thanks for sharing. 😁
You guys gonna take it back to the states and show them up? A different swap not just their typical LS swap
Yeah now this is one hell of a combination that I would absolutely love to get behind the wheel of, man I bet ya she is a riot to ripp around and beat on! 😂
Great concept, but have do something about that exhaust note. Whats the point of having a V12 powered Torana if it doesn't have the matching sound track.
Sound of the car just don't meet the expactation of 11 000 rpm screaming engine. Don't get me wrong, but that sounded huge blower (bumblebee similar build) at no blow and slow mow.
Love it, perfect street power for a car that weighs nothing. The vid doesn't do the sound justice would be better in person. Wicked build congrats bro👍🇦🇺🍻
Piss that power glide off and go t56 magnum, this thing needs to rev.
Also would run titanium exhaust with different mufflers, can hardly hear it,
Apart from that, I love this thing 👌🏻
Such a great car. Thanx for the video.
Well I have to be honest and say that was the most underwhelming v12 swap video I've seen...it sounded more like a modern day straight 6 with an opf and cats.. definitely needs a high flow cat and better exhaust set up .... but other than that kudos on the unique build
Well sounds very different to what I was expecting going to be a cool LC now. You need a Ferrari style rid shop sticker now on the screen the old sticker looks out of place. Love it Heath all the best from xa wagon family in the UK.
Perhaps some ground clearance and better suspension and daily drive it 👍🏻👍🏻
so happy for you, done well and sounds good :) euro v12s have a unique noise
You should have straight piped that motor there's nothing like the scream of an NA Ferrari V12 especially considering that motor is a detuned Enzo motor but only by 40hp.
i want to see it on the drag strip for a time
I like the click clack of the gated manual, but this is very cool. It's a unique sound isn't it?
This is wild mate specially for a small town in Victoria blown away she might not be screaming but it's streetable just needs some rear seats let the family times roll
What year is that incredible looking build? Thanks
It's a 1969 Holden LC Torana
Love the idle of that thing, sounds beast as!!
What a cool little cruiser, great build, definitely one of a kind.
One sick exhaust system and a tune it'll scream boys..
Bloody awesome Mate
✌😎
Sick grocery getter! I love it, nicely done. Did I see you cruising around in this on Sunday just gone? Or was that someone else sporting one of your stickers? I was too slow to get a good look!
We did take it for a few drives Sunday mate .
WOW . Know this is what we have been waiting for what a beast. It is still the real deal .
Time for some turbos!! @DDE did it with a similar engine possibly even the same engine but seemed to work great for them they are now building a gymkhana style car with the set up
Awesome to see it complete and running but i think it needs more noise seems to be abit too quiet either way it's very unique and never been done.
I’m new to the Holden cars. But what year and model is this car? Thanks in advance!
Its got a tuff stance mate, and the sound is interesting. Sounds nice outside goin down the road.
Ooff! I was expecting the sound of a typical Ferrari V12. What's going on here? Firing order? Equal length headers? Exhaust? It's gotta be those three factors, right?
Nice job! 😊
Cool build idea, the exhaust sound is a bit of a let down tho...
So sick.
Wonder if they thought of this from seeing what builtbyjeff is doing with his alfa with ferarri motor.
Honestly we hadn't seen Jeff's channel until we got the engine.
A few people commented on it including Jeff.
His Alfa is awesome and a bloody credit to him!
If you don't mind me asking what transmission are you using behind that Ferrari v-12?? Did harvest the V12 out of the 720 Ferrari??
Finally ! Been waiting to see this
Right on the Ferrari engine update😁👍👍👍
Power cruise huh is that the one that Gup puts on!!! He was just in the states about a month ago for the Brainard power cruise it was the first one of Gup's events and it was an absolute blast definitely will go again!!!
Yep, Cars are all loaded and on the way.
Using a Powerglide is such an odd choice lol.
.
Cool swap - unfortunately the only time you'd ever know, that it has a Ferrari V12, is when it's parked up and the hood is popped.
