Actualy...2 LS1 blocks welded together would get you 16 cyls...but whatever math you learned, stick to it...8)

Actualy, I belive what you are talking about is the Caddy V16 that was seen in the concept car of the same name. It wasnt and LS1, but based off the Gen IV small block chevy. And it wasnt 2 LS2's welded together, but just 16 cyls verson of teh Gen IV small block. It was a real working engine, and Caddy wanted it to be a real working car, not just a show car. Engine put out 1000hp with 1000tq.

The V12 is a DOHC engine that is actualy very small for a 12 cyl. Now the new special vehicle engine plant for GM will make the LS7 and the V12 by hand. The V16 might not make it, but the V12 is set for production right now.
