Lol. I talked about that with a friend of mine before. That would be crazy. I'll start with a single engine beast first

the problem i have with dual engines... especially with 2 different series engines is how do you shift both engines? the gearing will be different for each. and that will be some special linkage to shift both tranny's with one shifter. i mean i've seen a dual engine dsm, it would take an extreme amount of work to get both engines running simultaneously from one set of the essential driver hardware.

The thing with dual engines on a civic is why? If I put 2 4 bangers together, I might as well do less work and put a v8 in, or shoot, why not buy a v10 for giggles. Way less work and much more reliable that way. But it would be cool to rev 2 motors at the same time

that dual engine dsm was freakin sick.

And I've seen civette (I'd assume that's what forty linked to, but I'm too lazy to click the link), two different rwd (f20c engine) civics, and a mid-engine rwd del sol (h22)...

the del sol was freakin sick. Someone over on honda-tech built it.

On the other hand, why are we talking about car engines? Why not a turbine jet engine. Or better yet, a nuclear reactor? Now that would be novel.

There used to be vids of him racing all types of unsuspecting cars at cruising speeds....
Can you imagine you own a brand new Vette and getting beat by a '94 Camry??!?!?

I was thinking b18a thats already going in stays in front and put the heavier h22 in the rear. Thus a mad awd civic
I have a pic of this car. I saw it on a car show, it had dual engines
