Was "rifting" on Google, where one thought/search flows into another.. never know where you're gonna end up.

Started out trying to find the torque curves for the Honda Goldwing 1800 flat 6.. ended up finding a page on "Motorcycle Engine Powered Cars"... and then hit PAYDIRT???

This car is powered by TWIN as in 2 Harley Davidson engines.....

Go see how to spend money on things that make no sense...

Crazy Guy with too much money....

The engine on the website looks like a V8. Where'd you find the twin Harleyengines mated to what looks a bit like a Porsche transaxle?

The engine to trans adapter looks like a piece of plywood. Is this a working car or a prototype. Looks great at least.

Transxle is a C5/C6 Corvette automatic.. which is essentially a conventional automatic tranmission bolted directly to a final drive.

ha ha.. well at least the Guzzis would be facing the right way by design.. maybe put them in sequence so I have a V-4....

If you look long enough on the web, you'll find that somebody has already tried out that "ridiculous combination" you thought you dreamed up..

I'm impressed with the casting they did which ties the 2 engines to the bellhousing...

too bad they couldn't have steered their efforts to a watercooled hemispherical TYPE IV head......

I'd have to say...That is one beautiful piece of imagination and sweat. They have a good non-pretentious team to work with and it only goes to prove 99% passion and determination,...1% knowledge. The rest will work itself out.
