I wouldn't imediately write it off for lack of an engine. I share the
opinion that it should be repaired with correct V12 engine, but maybe not
by way of expensive engine rebuilt. I hear tales (feel free to inquire on
the net) of a warehouse full of V12 engines (maybe a dozen or so), some in
running condition, left over after V8 transplants, and available for lots
less than the cost of an engine rebuild.
End of info, that's all I know, no other opinion, so no need to reply to
ask more. Not my area of expertice, just my $.02.
