Yeah I would really like to see that thing go WOT. It would prob split in 2.

I bet it handles well.

And it uses a chain drive off the back of the engines.

1927 Model T Roadster

Totally built from scratch with just an idea, no drawings or models. One of a kind.

Chassis: Custom-built 1.5-inch tube. All tube bending by owner i.e. manual. Powdered coated gray.

Body: Fiberglass 1927 Model T painted Candy Apple Blue.

Independent front suspension: Unequal A-arms, coil over shocks, fabricated by owner.

Steering Box: Off road sand rail type rack and pinion.

Front Disk Brakes and Spindles: 90s Corvette.

Rear End: Jaguar, with inboard disc brakes.

Under floor brake and booster with 2lb residual valve front and back.

Mickey Thompson tires with Billet Specialties wheels 15x14 rear and 15x7 front.

Very cool steering wheel by CON2R, column shift.

Gas Tank: Custom made, rides in rear above rear end, Pro Comp electric fuel pump.

Engines: All aluminum Ford 4.6L modular V8s, DOHC, 32 valves,
Custom made supercharger manifolds with B&M Teflon superchargers and
Holley blower 4150 double pumper carburetors, with shotgun air cleaners.
Approx 1000HP

Ignition: Pro Com CD system, distributors are new magnetic pick/up type 1939 Ford flathead
V8s replicas, custom made adaptors on back of blocks driving through the valve cover
connecting to the overhead cam shaft on each motor via slotted end.

One starter motor per engine, which start both engines together.

Radiator: Custom made by Griffin Thermal Products. Built with two lower
outlets and two upper inlets around 7gls, one 16-inch electric fan.

Driveline: Gates 90mm by 14mm pitch Poly Chain GT Carbon via
steelsprockets and a custom machined 2inch spline shaft driving a 3spd Ford C5
automatic transmission. Custom built bell housing. Think of a triangle.
Machine work by Micar Fab Las Vegas.

Custom hand made windshield frame.

pluming pipes, seat frame and door panels. All welding, engineering, wiring, pretty much
entire construction by owner.
--------------------------------------------------

SERIOUSLY??? y would anyone hate on this?? 90% of this is custom and original ideas.. This guy made two engines work together making both flywheels turn one in the center like a triangle formation.. Custom SLA front suspension and a Jaguars IRS ind with the brake rotors next to the diff? this is a modern HOT ROD not a DD or a Track car.. Way to think out of the box

you know that the way jaguars diff use to come right

---

Exactly, Jag rears have come like that for decades. Look under most '32-'34 Fords at the Goodguys show and you'll see one. Also, getting two engines to run together isn't rocket science either. Tractor pull rigs have been doing that for decades too. Tommy Ivo is the first guy I can think of to build a multi engine car back in the early 60's.



Kudos to the dude for adapting a distributor to the motor since there are no kits to do that. But other than that, the car is kinda ugly. That radiator looks like it was pulled straight from a Kenworth truck.
