Now, the AER and Judd engines are fully stressed engines. Homologated engines cannot be fully stressed, and are not designed to be. We are talking about some redesigning here, how much I don't know...
The issue with the old Jaguar Group C V12 was the high up weight, not the weight or size per se, plus of course lack of power against unrestricted turbo opposition.

This Jaguar V12 was based on a '50's design, the Aston V12 is basically two modern Ford zetecs (I believe) joined together, possibly comparable to a diesel V12, minus the turbo bits and pieces.
