I love the M120 from years of working at various Mercedes dealers. It would be great to see the build evolve (engine setback, suspension/brakes, etc.) but it's a lot of work. Nicely done.
Man i had this thought.... i just dont have the money she beat me to it i was looking at the M120 i heard it was really good and reliable i was unaware that it was so light for a v12 thats incredible to see my idea come to life. Congrats amazing job
I've been seeing this car here and there for a while because I've got a 71 240z and really wanted to do that same engine but have been considering the bmw DCT behind it. Unfortunately the motec m800 I've got sitting around wouldn't support interfacing with the drive by wire and trans control 🥴. I've been dyno tuning for 14 years but never seem to have enough money for my own stuff lol. Good at tuning shitty and business lol
Hey yeah! Flywheel is a custom piece by DLI tecnik. It uses a ZF pressure plate and clutch. If you give them dimensions that you need they can design and manufacture you a custom one :)
I have a complete m120 i took out of a 94 sl600,i am looking for the right donor myself,i am hop i ng maybe a 3rd gen celica gts. I also have an sl600 driver with cat delete exhaust,nothing sounds as good as a v12 singing down the road.
Really cool swap. How did you manage to get the car lighter than stock with a 100lbs heavier engine? Is there any videos of the car driving on the track?
If you look back through there's a video of her doing a hill climb. It hasn't hit a track with the new engine though. Only with the original L28. Hopefully soon-ish
First reaction: There are so many better/easier/cheaper/lighter ways to make 400hp +. Second reaction: V12 in a little car... on a scale of 1 to 10 cool factor is about 50.
Why, 400hp is not enough for that amount of work. The L28 with a few basic upgrade and new turbo will do 350hp at the wheels. Plus you get up over 300ho and now your blowing apart the rear drive shafts.
Fun fact: The Japanese do not pronounce Datsun as DotSun like USicans do (I'm curious, why do you guys say it like that?). They say DattoSun (a as in cat).
NEXT! Way to much work that will have no end. It doesnt even fit the car its sticking up alot. That would and should have been a deal breaker. Plus add in the overheating bs you will encounter not to mention the rest of the headache of this build. Making 400hp from a v12 or put in a 4cyl turbo in fact 3cyl nissan makes 400hp and weighs 88lbs.
That little lady is one sharp cookie
I’d never think of doing a swap like that
You go girl!
Thank you for showing this car again. It was good getting some more in depth info on it. As a mercedes lover this is one of my favourite engines.

What an amazing build! Great work and passion
Very nice 😍
I am building my dream V12 supercar with the M120 💪
whenever I see "V12" and "Z" in a description my attention is guaranteed.
some people dont know there build, she does and talks on point
thanks for sharing this good swap
tell us the T56 bellhousing
looks like a fun build. smart choice on the t56 magnum
I'm piecing together a m120 swap myself and I have so many questions. Props for figuring everything out.
Nice 😍 I am using an M120 V12 for my supercar project
The perfect woman doesn't exi...
Haha! That’s exactly how my thoughts & believes developed during this vid:)

Hey, It's 315kg with all the accessories. I am using an M120 V12 for my project 😎
Wow very nice enjoy the build….!
thank you for the v12 video, I love it.
Nice! I've been wanting to see someone swap in a V12 in a Zed car!
man that is such a cool build! I just started building one of these over on my channel but its nowhere near this cool!
You got yourselves a follower, great content
Thank you Capt!
I remember when i first saw this car on istagram, happy to see the car again❤
You two have nice TV voices ... oh, and nice build. You didn't even mention the megasquirt!
I want this car
That's awesome, great walkaround. A pair of equal length headers and this thing will sing. Look forward to a video of it out on the road!
It’s on her agenda hopefully soon!
Jordan definitely knows her stuff.. Nice work.
THAT IS... PASSION THERE- BOOM !!!

What Bell housing did she used with the T56 ?
Hi, could you give more info about the flywheel u used and also clutch/pressure plate combo for the t56? Thx!

ok thanx! What motor mounts did you use? The original are quite beefy...@@SouthernMagnoliaWheelCo

I love this build
Ms3 pro tutorial for v12 pls
I will ask her if she can do a quick run down
Love this build. 400hp NA from a V12. Man I’m almost wishing I didn’t have my L24 rebuilt…
Built L24 sounds tasty though!
The perfect woman.
I wish she could try building a Gordon Murry rocket car with a KTM 1390 engine.

yup you got it exactly! The hp isn't anything special, hopefully the rest of the experience is! :)
Because a V12 is bitchin and nothing sounds better. Not even music.
Sound clips please
Who makes the adapter plate for her transmission
It was custom, there are kits out there now for m120 and ZF transmissions though!
So was the flywheel thicker than normal? Would you do a tutorial?
Why, 400hp is not enough for that amount of work. The L28 with a few basic upgrade and new turbo will do 350hp at the wheels. Plus you get up over 300ho and now your blowing apart the rear drive shafts.
Totally not worth it for the hp! It's mainly for the unique sound :)
0:45 "It's got an iocel block and pretty good engine?"
You should give a shout out to her social media, I'd love to give her project a follow
She likes to keep a lower profile but you can follow along on her progress at @cast_iron_soul
She should talk to xf Motorsports he will help her with the engine issues.
Fun fact: The Japanese do not pronounce Datsun as DotSun like USicans do (I'm curious, why do you guys say it like that?). They say DattoSun (a as in cat).
HAHA I think you're right! We just say it funny

Obviously it's not about perfection this is just fun and an engineering feat. It looks like it fits the Z to me and you just seem a bit jealous.
Very cool! Do you have an instagram for the build?
Yup check out @cast_iron_soul it's her IG
Keep going girl 🎉
