ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!

well, it was for 20' anyways. got it running today, both engines fired real nice. i guess i forgot to loctite the screws on the left side engine mount, they fell out right away and stripped the spur gear. i did get a video, not much to see but at least it gives an idea what this beast sounds like

oh yes, more video will be coming at some point. i was hoping to at least get some shifting out of the thing but thats as far as the car went with both engines. parts are on order but it'll be a couple weeks before i see them.

still have some kinks to work out. i noticed one carb was binding up due to the angle of the linkage so i was limited to around half throttle. the transmission also wouldnt shift, might be due to lacking full throttle, may just need some adjusting.
