Calling all gurus, I need help identifying this engine. Pretty unique. The owner has an idea on what it is but I don't want to get his hopes up until we know for sure. Took a couple snapshots of it. He has everything the crank the Pistons the cam the heads I believe the valves are there in a box. It is been taken apart and stored in his storage building that he inherited for as long as he knows. A couple of the parts have numbers on them but there's not much. Let's see what we can find out thanks in advance

Yeppers, V 12 Lincoln, post war I believe. 6h I think is 39-41, with 7 h being 42-48, but don’t hold me to that. I don’t have all my bookmarks on this iPad that I have on the home pc or I could check it. That is what my car would have had stock, about 305 cu in.

I’ve saw a few pictures of hot rodded Lincoln V12’s, pretty pricey speed parts IF you can find them. Aluminum intakes with 3 or 4 carbs and aluminum heads are out there, but pretty rare.

Just like flathead Fords, they were bad to run hot and crack.
 
He wants to sell it. But someone told him it's worth some decent money if it was a zephyr. I'm not sure on a value
 
Ahhh one of those "someone told him" guys. :rolleyes:

Spoiler alert: He's going to be sadly disappointed by the "what someone will actually pay" reality...
