You're very welcome, sir.

I typically sweat the engineering details on my models, but in this case, even as pedantic and anal as I can be, I would most likely go with the "good enough" approach too.

Bill that's some really good info on the magneto, nice pics to.

No way never existed in real life This was only done because of that random Photoshop picture of a 427 SOHC that had been made into a V12 someone bet me that I couldn't do it so I did it and then I also just made some random intakes for it. Now there have been v12s made from LS's in real life and that would be a 90° V12 and it's not exactly the way you would want to make a production p12 because as you said v12s are usually two in I6 engines put together the major Advantage being the perfect balance that inline 6 X2 and making a V12 out of the V8 x1.5 would not be ideal but it has been done. Even the GMC Twin 6 is a 60° bank which was of course made from two v6s. This engine was nothing more than a fun little project to be nothing more than that a what if fun thing. I mean why are the magnetos however you want that the firing order and then stipulate that the two magnetos are 30° split and then figure out which cylinder should I wear It's all good fun though right there is no wrong way to wire up an engine that does exist in real life.

The bank angle is important to get the engine to run good without inbalance and even firing, the most common is 90 degrees for V8's and 60 and 180 degrees for V6 and V12.
For the V10's the optimal bank angle is 72 degrees for an even firing engine but there are 90 degree V10's like the Dodge V10 and I don't know how they solved the even firing problem with a 90 degree bank angle.
Caterpillar cheated when they did the diesel 3408 and had a split journal crank where the big end of the rod pairs are not in line with eachother on the same crank pin and that way fooling the engine wich is 60 degree bank angle to believe it's a 90 degree engine and get even firing that way.
