When 2 will do. Pretty darn creative. Just cut the ones you don't need.

Pretty cool there TD!
Total Innovation! Wonder how bad it shakes? Couldn’t be any worse than a Harley right?

Ole reliable. When things were easy > the Vertex.

I ran em for years.

That thing is cool.

Those 2 cylinder sbc engines were being done over 20yrs ago.......claimed over 200 hp...

That's basically what Chevy did (cut of a pair of cylinders) with their 262 V6. Not to distract from the masterful job that ole boy did.

1800gb didn't someone from your area build one?

Yes.....Local machine shop/performance engine builders,supposedly done at least a couple...Paul Fields Motorsports & Machine...

I thought about doing this with old hemi block and cracked crank that I have. Have a cam thats got bad lobe that could be cut off. Would give me 131 ci V twin.

At least I know its doable idea anyway. Then most things are with enough mpney and or machinery.

Very cool. Is it really a V-twin, or a V-2?

The difference I believe to be if the connecting rods attach to the same crank pin or not, but I don't recall which is which.

I've got enough junk to build a 300 inch V4. All that junk is parked in Carnage Corner.Lol

That's friggin neat! I struggle a little withe the 180 hp number. And I imagine high rpm resonance could be an issue with balance. But it's still pretty cool.

180 not tjat hard to buy. My 127 evo made 159 hp and carb is too small for engine of that size. Plus lots of guys bolting pro charger on big inch motors are hitting 300 plus at rear wheel.

The LS part of the build didn't look all that special. And they make about 500 in that form if that. Divide by 4 That was my logic.

Did someone say V-twin?

BTW, that's a lawn mower engine (Kohler based).
