well someone with a mind like mine. i looked at the win engine idea on a t bucket too settled now with a 500 caddy
i was looking at twin stock 250 chev 6 cylinders but was trying to figure out how to mount them so that i could just run the back one while cruising and than either move a lever clutch or something and start and engauge the front engine. thought it would be neat .
150 hp to cruise and 300hp plus lots of torque to go.
i know that a double chain rear snout to front crank connector will work and would be reliable . i dont how much hp it willl take. we have a self propeled swather on the farm and it has the same kind of connector from engine to tranny on a 318 and has run for years.
i first thought a clutch and 3spd tranny in the front . one could clutch and shift from neutral to drive but the assembly would be way too long .
i think there are ramifications regarding linking 2 6 cyl engines together ie broken cranks due to harmonic problems.
i think it can be done with v8s but its one of those things it would be trial broken parts and error.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
