My knowledge of the Lincoln V12 is all second hand from books I have read. They state that the Lincoln V12 was not very reliable,even in stock form. I suspect there are other weak links in the chain besides the oil pump. like most flathead engines,the breathing is not very good so they cannot make much power per CI.
I remember seeing a Custom 30's Lincoln hot rod sell at auction for a very high price because it used a modified Linciln V12 instead of a much more common modern V8. Keep in mind that this was a show quality car that was likely never driven except from the enclosed trailer to the show floor,if then.
