I was just wondering about some relays in a 90 Daytona. We are having a
problem with the fuel pump not coming on, And I was wondering what all those
relays are for inside the car under the drivers side compartment. Is there a
relay for the fuel pump in there? Or can someone tell me where the
Wasn't one of the problems with the mini-van swap that the rear diff
couldn't handle any real power?

One disadvantage of two engines is power train loss. Even if two T1s making
160hp equals 320hp, you loose twice the power going through two
transmissions. With 2 automatics, loss is around 40 to 50hp.

Jeff, let's put this into perspective...with ONE engine at 150hp and an
automatic transmission, you lose, say, 20 hp. Just a ballpark figure.
Not accurate. But say 20. Leaving you with 130 to the wheels.
Add your second 150hp engine and auto trans, and you put an ADDITIONAL
130whp in the rears.
So now if we consider that you can weld in the entire inner engine bay
into the rear of, say, a G body, you would then have ready-to-go shock
towers which covers the basic suspension fab needs. All you do then is
fashion joints for the A-arm. Hmmm do you use a front sway bar in the
rear?

The shadow has two ancient and crusty Automatics in it. You could run 1
manual and 1 auto, but we thought it was best to run 2 autos. The driver
has got enough stuff going on with the steering wheel, the brake pedal, the
front engine throttle pedal, and the rear engine's hand throttle. No
Solid beam wouldn't work. I'd just use a pair of steering arms that
bolted to the K-member or lower control arm. Same thing they did on the
Pontiac Fiero's and Fiat X-1/9's.
Have you seen the inside of a multi-engine airplane cockpit? There is a
standard set of gauges used for an engine. This
Keeping the rack was easier by far. The wheels were straigened out and a
short peice of bar stock was welded to the steering input shaft and to the
firewall. Any minor alignment changes then could easily be done with the
tie-rods like on any car. It took Tom like 10 minutes to set it up.

I'm thinking now that those aftermarket gauge cluster packages from
Autometer and other companies (that includes tach and speedo, oil
pressure, water, etc.) is a good deal, and would make mounting, say
above the glove compartment and at an angle (say 35-45 degrees), a snap,
and cover your
so anyways, i think the deciding factor for me in this single/duel engine debate would
be daily drivability and if you wanted to put the car on the road and/or retain a
stock or near stock appearance. or if you were strictly using this as a racer. it
would be hard to keep a stock looking car
Gosh where to begin? LOL.
The idea I envisioned conceals the rear engine 100%. Possibly even still
allows some hatch space, but with reduced storage depth. It would kinda
reselble an 80's camaro rear hatch area, including the rearmost lower
area of one.
As far as safety and legality goes, both

The ultimate solution was understanding how to use the application.
Your poly mount kit will come with some extra spacers that look like big round
washers. In the installation instructions it appears that these must go inside the
front cup mount. Due to

You should email some pictures of this car to Monster Garage. They
have a page with pictures of viewer's monsters. This one definately
qualifies. If you ever get bored with that car, I bet it would fetch a
small fortune on Ebay. I know I'd bid on it. Crazy fabrication or not,
the hard part is

Certainly the idea of cutting out and
grafting in an entire engine bay eliminates much of that problem, as it
literally includes all the necessary mount points for front IRS, only
now in the rear.
I was actually thinking about this earlier this summer.. has anyone cut the
