Talk about a "pavement pounder". If that was real, standing next to this beast you would look like on of those old electric football players that vibrate all over the place. This will be wild. Keep us posted please. Patrick M

When I saw the title I thought it was the old 60's era chopped 34 Ford sedan powered by an Allison aircraft engine. It thought, hey THAT would be cool, But THIS is even COOLER!!!! That think gonna be like 5 thousand horsepower!:lol::DB);)

I was going to reply to this post because it's a truly unique and well conceived project.

Unfortunately, my head exploded when I saw the first picture.

If I find all of the pieces, maybe I can put together a proper response to your next update.

Very cool always liked Big Al and Quad Al. He also did an isetta. How about a smart car with and Allison engine?

Are the Allison engines from AMT?

Looks mean and definitely unusual, but is it front wheel drive? And how does it steer?

I had always thought this would have been a brilliant powerplant idea for a street machine.

It is an Allison V-3420. Essentially two Allison v-12 engines using a common crankcase. Quite a few were produced for the P-75, which was canceled after the turbojet engine was proven to be a much better powerplant.

Nice build. I would have coupled two engines and run one differential per axle like the original. But still cool looking the way you did it. B)
