V12-Powered Datsun 280Z Finally Sounds Like an F1 Car

A Datsun 280Z has been fitted with a Mercedes M120 V12 by Michael Tung (TungTied), and after adding equal-length headers the car now roars like a supercar. The M120, 6.0L and aluminum-block, previously powered W140 sedans and AMG setups (and used in the Pagani Zonda), sits behind a Tremec T56 Magnum manual in this lightweight Z. This is actually the second M120 install after an overheating issue during an earlier hill-climb swap; the latest exhaust work enhances drivability and sound, underscoring the appeal of a V12 swap as a creative alternative to more common LS swaps.

"BMW E46 M3 Transformed with Insane 10-into-1 Headers and V10 Swap"

The Driftworks V10 E46 M3, originally built with an S85 V10 engine from an E60 BMW M5, has been upgraded with custom 10-into-1 headers from Celeritech. These headers not only aim to increase power by optimizing exhaust gas scavenging, but also create a unique and higher-pitched exhaust note. The car, which was recently restored by Driftworks, features a five-exit exhaust system and offers the option of an open exhaust dump. While power gains have not been measured yet, the focus of the upgrade was on style and sound.
