    The engine is really out on this dragster, looks like it was the forerunner to how funny car chassis would later be built.

    There's another motor in the back, you know.
    I think the front was a Cad and the back an Olds.

    One of my all-time favorites a long time ago. Ol' Drop-It-on-the-Ground. You can see the caster wheels in the above photo.

    Push start it, pull the lever to bring it up on the casters, aim it, rev it up and drop it on the ground.

    I was going to say there is almost enough room to put another engine in there.
