Use a 205NP and drive it backwards, with the two engines hooked to the front and rear output shafts. Take the input shaft, and drive another 205NP below that is turned around, so the input shaft faces backwards...

There'd be no place for a tranny, but who cares?

actually you'd have 2 gears high (1:1) and low whatever the ratio is on the low I have forgoten.

Nah, I think I could cram one under the hood. Besides, a big air scoop sticking up out of the hood would be cool!

Seriously, does anyone know what bellhousing bolt pattern these things take?

would that big of an engine even fit under the hood, it would prolly be sticking out the top and have to cut fender wells away to get manifolds to go by, but who knows maybe in the end it would all be worth it.
