ehhh....i can see monster garage getting to work on a viper ww20...woo hoo, two v10's...lol...put that in a neon, lmao.


seriously speaking, where would you get a bare block, lets say all of TR was to chip in money and labor, and we built our own engine, who would you go to to get a bare block the way youwant it ,( i.e. i6,v8,v10 etc..) so we could design our own powerplant....that would be gangsta..lol.

My instructor made an X16 out of two Northstars apparently a few years back. Bolted two of them together with a custom oil pan...and worked I guess!

Yes, engines can be "modular"...99% of GM V6s are based off of the 350/5.7L or other V8s, the Ecotec is also just half a V8 too IIRC. Ford's V8s? 4.6 and 5.4 are almost identicle and parts are very quite interchangable...IIRC all heads and bottom ends and stuff are. Also, I believe Toyota's 5.0 V12 (Toyota Century, google it) the 1GR-FE is just 2 1JZs. These type of engines are MUCH prefered because of how easy and cheap they would be...if you made them interchangable with previous engines, thats a buttload of money to save.

The closest thing I have seen before was someone who welded two 350SBC V8's together for 700 cubic inches of hawtness. I need to find the link tho...

Hahah, I know you're kidding, but this sort of thing sounds like something 15 year olds would talk about at lunch. Don't forget, the redline also doubles to 13,600, and it needs two intercoolers and the tires would have to be twice as wide to handle it all.

i dont think little kids at school would think of something like this...people have pulled off matting two engnes together to form one....its not impossible..impractical..yeah...but def. possible.... im sure people were just like you when swapping honda engines and making a crx rear wheel drive wiith an nsx motor...anything is possible.
