I figured the drive would be easy enough, either flip the R/P in the front rear axle(boy that sounds weird saying it....), or just flip the whole axle over, and connect them both with some type of sprocket/pulley/gear going to jackshaft to the engines.
I'd be more worried about trying to get the steering aligned. If you wanted to keep the geometry correct, you'd need more Ackerman on the front front axle, than the back front axle.
Ugh. Makes my head asplode....
I second the 'I dare someone to $2011 it' comment. The autox would be a bit tricky, but it would make for a good youtube video!
Answer to all driveline questions?
Infinite Improbability Drive.
Either that or strategic use of a wormhole through which the drive shaft might pass on it's way to the rear differentials.
it the forward rear diff looks like it has two flanges.. one for the input and one for an output the second diff.
I cannot imagine the drivetrain losses on this car
you and I know that.. but look closely at the "forward" rear diff.. it is definatly very long and seems to be symertical front to back.I wonder if he found a way to bolt the nosecond from one onto the back of another
Just read the ad again. "the detentions are 204in long 81in wide and 40in tall" This guy's mom drank WAY too much while pregnant. Detentions! Too berkeleying funny.
I wonder, if you were nerdy enough and had a LOT of time, would it be possible to make that thing 8 wheel steer?
I though I had a fevered imagination.
Looking at that front diff, I think what he did was: make a custom center section to hold the carrier bearings then 'flipped' another housing to point a second pinion gear backwards and high up (two pinion gears running on the same ring gear) then turned the second diff over in the carrier to put that pinion in line with the front one.
But two 12A's to move all that? Um, I'm not seeing it. I say 12A's because as near as I can tell from the pics, the bottom intake halves are RB pieces. The 13B carb conversions used the stock bottom half and a RB upper section.
