<VV> A prize fine by WTBRT

[John Bailey]

I have never heard of a XL 100 Corvair van or a double stacked 280 HP 
(sounds like two 140 HP) engine.  How do you mate the drive between 2 engine 
cases?  Could this be another tall story?  I will be very interested in what 
develops in this thread.

0-60 in 25 seconds if I am lucky!
