I don't think you would like a V-12, that is unless you can strip off all the anti pollution junk on it. It is a nightmare to work on.
As far as 8 hours for a valve adjustment, could be book time but I remember doing a complete valve job on my 63 3.8l e-type. Started right after work at 5 and got done about 2 AM. Drove it home slept and was back at work at 7 the next morning. Course trip time was only about 10 min. Was only about 23 at the time so had a lot more energy and didn't run down as fast as now. AH! Those were the days.
