Grr, hurry up on this thing I want to see it!

[No1Beaver]

I've been moving frustrating slow. Lifes had a few extra wrinkles over the laast six months. I'm currently building the exhaust but since I have to build two sets fo headers it's taking quite a while.

[HotRodAlley]

kool project good luck with it, did you ever consider mounting the body up over the rear engine and using the back seat as the front (making it a 2 seater)so it didnt look so long? either way its sick! good luck......

[No1Beaver]

I hadn't considered the body over engine idea. That's a great idea. If the body I found wasn't in the great condition that it is in I'd consider it. I found this body in the rafters of a barn. It's estimated to have been the over 40 years and is in very good shape for a 90 year old piece of metal. I've avoided cutting or modifying the body as much as possible.

ok..lets talk harmonics here?

how are you going to deal with it???

my guess unless you do something funky

you be poppin main bearings in very

short order..YES? even worse..shear

a crank...NIce lookin job!

[No1Beaver]

The engines, flywheel/clutch, balancers, and connecting hardware has not been balanced yet. I'll get them set and test started a few times prior to tearing it all down and balancing everything all together.

your from now my idol. :)

Just enough tank to make it to the gas station.

I like your choice of mills, sticking to Mopar. Are you gong with electronic ignition.It seems like it would be bear trying to time two motors to run in unison. ZI take it they are mated by their cranks. Quite a project. Respect.

[urparanoia]

Nice to see something a little different. The twin engine drag cars of days gone by were always eye catchers and the engineering to make it all work was interesting to say the least. With the touring car body and twin engines I must say that you have something unique and best of all it's all MOPAR.

[MultiBubba01]

get it running

It would be nice if you could tie the engines togeather, valve covers that spanned the open space would bring them togeather more for the eye. An extra set of covers might be employed to fill the gap, maybe some sheetmetal betweent he engines, just daydreaming. That coupling is intresting, makes me wonder about frame flex when you have 720 cubes of torque. What a rod , hope it works out and you have a ball.

awesome man... congrats did u repaint the engines? or what? cuz they look better than they did in the orriginal clip

[KartRacer695]

that thing is awseom! can wait for it to be done great work!

[heatherrose2006]

"They" have been chaining them together like that for decades =)

[RIPSNZ]

Double not much shouldn't be a problem.

Interesting to see how the coupler works out.
