vh90 going into my 46 lincoln continental

Post by **joukaishou813924** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 8:35 pm

plans are to hook up 2 vh45s in a inline fashion and shoehorn it into my lincoln continental, plans for boost in the long run but for now looking foward to the 500+ hp to the rear wheels. Lemme know your thought and hate mail.

Have two ever been mated before? If so please post pics, I would like to see the cranks and cooling is all connected.

Bout time a got a response, this setup takes and mates the flywheel of one engine to the front of the crank on the other engine

Post by **Joe** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:22 am

how?

and what are you going to do with cooling?

And what measures are being doesn't to rotate and control each engine in sync?

Cooling shouldn't be an issue... Why's that a concern?

An old Lincoln has lots of frontal space for monster radiator.

Power balance on a VH is hard enough to manage with 8 cylinders, much less 16.

Post by **OutToWinPAHC** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 4:35 pm

I would imagine you would need an electric water pump. The oem pump may not keep up to 2 engines. The rear engine wont have room for it anyhow. You would also need a hell of a starter, custom crank to crank adapter. Then controlling it. I would assume you would have to run a stand alone that supports 16 cylinders. I know I would want to have complete control over both at the same time. The balance would need to be precises.

Does a VH45/41 have a balancer on the front of the crank, if so that may be a major issue for the rear motor.

I have seen this done with generators, and once with a show car. But I think there is room for error and controlling factors.

because the farther away from the radiator you get the more the temperature increases.

i think this is a stupid idea and will fail miserably. its not as easy as "connecting the flywheel to the crank pulley"

It'd be a lot easier to mount them separately.

And the distance issue is irrelevant. One of the baddest Time Attack cars I've seen (DentSportGarage's S13) has the radiator where the hatch glass once was.

If you're gonna hack, hack on the obvious challenges, such as controlling for power output differences and synchronizing ignition.

As far as syncronising goes, I'm goind to do my best to make sure both engines run with the same timing before I attatch them by possibly boring them out by 5mm or by rebuilding them, then once they can run with the same timing, attatch them and they will be syncronized till they are separated

Hmmmm. Doesn't really work that way, but ok.

On a lighter note, how about some pics of the intended victim?

You couldn't have picked a more temperamental engine(s) to work with.

Ill post pics in a while unfortuately, I don't have the internet here, I only have my cell phone to use

find a wrecked benz with a v12, preferbaly the newer boosted ones, run an ems on it, done deal... much easier, less custom fab, etc.

Post by **joukaishou813924** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:45 pm

Sorry but I don't have have 6k+ to drop on an engine and then still need a tranny and wiring to figure out

Post by **540sx** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 12:51 pm

I'll bet this whole project costs more than that. I would really consider the cost of everything before you begin building and buying engines. once you get a figure assume it will cost at least 30% more maybe 50% more.

I have seen a pair of Holden 202ci 6cylinder engines mated with a crank chain in a corolla burnout car and a twin v8 hotrod truck, so Id say it can be done but i doubt using vh45s is the easiest choice. Why not just fit a single ls1? simple, easily tuneable, reliable and plentiful.

From the sounds of it you dont really know what your getting yourself into.

Post by **WDRacing** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 11:23 am

I'd convert both motors to a wasted spark ignition and use 2 Holley or Eldlebrock carbs...1 per motor of course. Use a diesel starter, run radiators like they do on the hummer for the aft motor. Everything has an answer. V8's have been hooked up inline for friggin years now. Granted they are done by people in the know, but it's been done.

The connection between the motors is a small driveshaft. Get the motors ATDC and press the F on

In my minds eye this looks like something Mad Max would be Fin proud of.

im realistic

so instead of blowing sunshine up this kids a** im gonna tell him to stop wasting his time and come back down to earth.

go ahead prove me wrong, i look forward to eating my own words.

I think 2 huge Holset turbo's attached to a 454 mated to a 6 speed in that same Lincoln would be WAY cooler and tons easier

Post by **540sx** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 10:27 pm

could use 2 radiators one for front motor and one for the rear, one in front and one rear mounted or under car. high flow water pump on the front and one of these for the rear

oh yeah the budget factor, never mind

I would like to see how low the front sits with the weight of two motors.

do yourself a favor and take the time to learn about cars before you blow your money.
