X-2sbc

Along with my other projects, like the 81 GMC K2500, and my 95 T-Bird, and the replica 65 Daytona Coupe, (actually that's done) I've been experimenting with coupling two small block Chevy 350's together end to end. That's one right in front of the other.

So far I've welded the flywheel of the lead engine to the harmonic balancer of the trailing engine, and have it "installed" in a highly modified front end of a 71 Nova.

It runs, as long as I keep the rpm's down, but in a short period of time I'm "encouraged" to shut it down. They seem to want to rip each other apart, fighting each other because I can never get them to run in sync.

Eventually, I plan to run these twins in a early model GM truck. 60's, 70's, or early 80's square body. Full frame don't ya know. Make it streetable. Just the front clip is...well, longer.

My question is: I think my answer could be a viscous coupling. Perhaps a NP-203? Perhaps there are some tractor pull guys, gals, who might know of a small unit I could use between my two engines, or any other ideas. I've been to quite a bit of web-sites, but really don't know the engineering behind multi-engine machines.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
