it's going to be quite an impressive chain to deliver that sort of power... why not have one motor run the front wheels and the other run the rears?

Yep just like in the video. And you could do some cool stuff like putting one engine in reverse and the other forward and let them fight it out! 4 wheel burn out :D

I remember something about a holden ute called BLO BAK that had 2 engines. It was like a HQ-WB of some sort........

Had a 350 I think in the back, and a 308 or something in the front. And I remember something about it running a transaxle from a FWD cadillac eldorado?

Maybe google it....... BLO-BAK

Yep that was on the cover of streetmachine back in the dark ages, I can remember it

There is an Aqua coloured VW golf somewhere in the world with 2 VR6 motors in it, one in front one in back 2 gearboxes connected by a linkage, but its a bit different as this is East West config. RB30 would not be the engine you would want to start with, the smaller the engine the better in twin engine cases.

Yeh, I read about it in one of those "Where are they now?" readers letters a couple of years ago. Apparently it got sold, converted back to single engine and then written off. :(


Don't have any pics or scans of the article do ya Greenfoam? I remember I tried to google some info on it a coupla years ago but couldn't find a thing. Just interested me thats all.

and if the engines have enough power then put one in drive and one in reverse with grippy tires.. end result.. snapped chassis
