Our pals over at Bangshift put this one up, and as painful as it is to admit that a competitor has something good, well, dang it, this is really good. It’s a feature on a twin engined, and fully functional, hot rod! The project began two years ago when Yannick Sire decided to “do something different.” He began the project be mulling over to do with his supply of frame rails and engines and then got the crazy idea to make a single hot rod out of the entire works of spare parts. Two and a half months later (and no, that is not a typo) his car was finished.
His first task was to come up with an engine coupler, and his strategy was to use a rubber isolator from a ’04 GTO driveshaft. He then made a bracket to bolt it to the rear of the front engine with an aluminum “stick” style flywheel. The rear motor fires 45 degrees behind the front engine, it’s firing order is literally 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 and so on.
The front suspension is made up of custom A-arms connected to second generation Camaro 2-inch drop spindles with 14-inch Corvette C6 brakes. The rear suspension was all created around a Dana 60 that originally came from, of all things, a ’69 International Travelall.
The entire rod is a tribute to what ingenuity, spare parts, and a little too much time can produce. In other words, it’s perfect!
