We have a club member with one of them on a pallet in his in garage, im sworn to secrecy though:)

 

tell come on will try and dig out the number for the guy i was talking to about it and pass it on he knows his aston martin engines inside out by the sound of it.

 

gearbox was around £4000 for a 6 speed ,the guy could get ecu custom made for it aswell.

Wouldn't be TOO much more expensive that fitting a single lump and 6 speed to an NA auto.

The DB7s engine bay was desgned for a straight six which was a similar size to the 2JZ so I should think it will.

 

The AM V12 basic engine is pretty much unchanged from model to model internally. AML do different oil pans and intake and exhaust manifolds for each installation, the manifolds partly for packaging and partly for intake tuning.

 

IIRC the throttle bodies on the V12 in DB9 trim are about a meter apart. That engine is almost as wide as it is long.
