Hey Wayne. Here is the set up on that monster.
each motor had it's own tranny,automatics, and in the the back there are 2 3rd members,they are 9"fords.so each motor powers 1 tire. he can run the vehicle on 1 motor.
 
That car he has on the trailer behind it has a big block,600 cu in. 800hp with a 300 shot of NOS,he told me the 1/4 mile time and speed but i cant remember it now. but it was fast.

OK, the obvious question, did he tie the middle two output shafts together?? or what did he do to terminate them?? but then I can't see doing that either....if they were posi rears that would be a insane loading on the posi....
if they were a solid axle rear with NO diffy action, wouldn't that make turning a huge mess???

I just GOTS to know....

:sos::crutches::suspicious:
 
2 separate trannies,2 seperate 3rd members,each motor drives 1 rear tire. they are not tied together.

Cool, but do you know what he did with the unused output shaft off each diffy?? I would suppose he had to make it fixed position, or make it a solid spool drive with no actual diffy present in the carrier....NO??

Gene you are making something difficult out of nothing,its very simple and straight forward.
2 trannies,each tranny is connected to its own diff,each diff drives 1 wheel. there are no connections anywhere that connect the 2 motors together.
The diffs are not connected to each other in any way.
I dont know how else to explain it.
 
OK, that explains it, each one is a solid spool, no diffy action in either rear..., must be really strange to drive in town with different loadings on each drive train in a corner....on the road, maybe not so much.....:friends:

Now that would be fun around town with two manual transmissions :shocking::shocking:

HUMMPh....interesting point, I hadn't thought of....with two automatics, how does he synch the shift points?? if one is in first and still pulling while the other is in 2nd or in middle of a shift?? wonder what happens...car goes sideways??

with two clutches and shifters tied together, at least be assured of them shifting at the same instant....

computer 4L60e automatics?? that may do it....

how does he control the oil drain back from the horizontal bank of cylinders on each engine??I could see 1/2 the sump in there really quickly.....

wonder how they did that on a radial aircraft engine, for that matter....

I"d drive the guy nutx to see him/it at a show.....but he shows enough he going to have a print out for all the FAQ's certainly heard them ALL by now....

Hooking up multiple engines in sync is nothing new,some pulling tractors have 6 engines on them all coupled together to turn the rear wheels. I could not find the pic,but there was a drag car that had 4 engines 1 for each wheel,i think it was from some time in the 60's. As far as the trannies shifting together,they have manual shift bodies in them and linked to 1 shifter in the car. Drain back for the oil out of the valve cover is easy,blow the pic up up to full size,you will see 2 -12 lines coming out of each valve cover that drains oil back to the pan. The 1st and 3rd pic show the return lines clearly.

I never enlarged the pix...so missed that detail about the drainback.......but the trannies are manual shifted...that makes sense....

still the craziest setup I ever seen since the above mentioned dragsters of some 1/2 century ago....
