But then again I guess it wouldnt matter if it wasnt running on 2-4 cylinders

Running all that on what looks to be a single coil??? Either a low revver, or some 'smarts' in the ignition system.

I have heard of Merlins and other plane motors going in to rods, like
that thing J Lenno drives from the Blastolene Bros.

do you reckon two sbc's ? or completely custom. Apparently there are (2) of 'em,
one in the '23 Ford T-Bucket above and another in a '37 Ford Coupe.

I prefer the Blastolene special!

The moment I saw it I thought it was two Smallblocks. Whether it is actually two smallblocks that have been stuck together or a full custom block made I'm not sure, but it's definately based on the SBC block.

Same way you join two halves of a mould. How that's done I don't know, lol!

Machine them back to the bare minimum, and chemically heat up the contact surfaces evenly, and slide them together on a lathe bed kinda thing.

Then you can line-hone them on the same setup.

So it appears to be a pair of SBC's stuck together some how. But does it actually run, or is the Turd Bucket pushed/towed everywhere?

Something tells me it would be completely un-respected if it didn't run. I wouldn't wanna rev it too hard, but I reckon it must be able to move under its own power.

All depends on how much the owners wanted to throw away too I suppose. if you had the money, you could make it pull seven grand, but it would be a nightmare to fund it... just even the rocker covers would be expensive, not to mention the heads, manifolds, fark, distributor (off the shelf? :tease:

) etc.
