4 engines
just been taking to a friend and he said use an engines per wheel. so it got me thinking why not i dont think its been done and it will be a one off.
ive been given 2 600cc engines so i could use them and buy 2 more as the 600s are very cheap. but it wont be for the raod. just for fun. what do you
think.

I could imagine some real fun and games trying to balance the power from each engine across the rev range driving each wheel smoothly.
It would be fun to build, and quite big chassis I would guess!
Why not try to take the crank shaft drive from the two engines and combine them into a single drive shaft, then flywheel, clutch and gearbox. Make
yourself a 1200 cc 8 cylinder.
Cheers

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Isn't that kind of what Furore did? One engine per wheel (but only rear wheels in that case).

it's already been done as a concept for a hydrogen cell electric vehicle, it was based on a new mini and had a electric motor in each wheel
hub.
