Engine Swap

[Laticsfan]

I attended the Hamilton Airshow today and witnessed a flyby of 2 Spitfires, 2 Hurricanes, a Mosquito and the Lancaster. The sound was fantastic. My next project is fitting a Rolls Royce V12 Merlin into my Corvette. If anybody has any advice or experience with this conversion please let me know. I wonder if Manny has done this? How hard can it be?

Here you go.
This was from the Scottsdale Barret Jackson Auction a couple of years ago.
I forget what it sold for but it was amazing when they started it up.
