    No the engines are connected by flywheels meshed together and one is a right hand engine and the other is left hand firing order the clutch is mated to one of the flywheels and the rear end is offset to accommodate it here is a clip of a video I took of the car if you look closely you can see inside the car I have some other pics somewhere I just not sure where they are at the moment if you look here on the hamb rocky phillips who goes by toymaker built a twin engine car and there are lots of details on how he built the car the car is called evil twin I’ve seen the car in person and we both ran at meltdown drags years ago he is a super good guy if I was interested in building one I would definitely be lookin for that thread because he pretty much shows everything he did

    I got the opportunity to be in that car while running last August and I’m here to tell you that nitro burning blown MEL motor is very violent feeling at idle when it’s revved up it it’s even better lol I sure would like to make a full throttle pass in it down the 1320
