Guess what, guys. I have another Cadillac Seville all of a sudden. And what do you know? It's got a 4.9L/4T60E trans. This one's got higher miles, but it's okay at 80k. So, that got me thinking. I was going to put the motor in the back, but then the suspension becomes a mess. What about a front wheel drive truck? What about both? Here's the new direction of this quickly-changing project I've barely just started. I intend to place the entire subframe from Cadillac #1 in the rear of the truck, and the entire subframe from Cadillac #2 in the front of the truck. This will actually solve some problems (weight distribution, suspension differences/upgrade/lowering) and cause others. I'm going to run both motors basically independently, two floor shifters, two ignition cylinders, two of everything but the stuff there can only be one of, like the gas pedal. I need to figure out a way to allow them to measure each other's speed accurately, but I have the rest of it pretty much worked out. Maybe wheel speed sensors? Or I could make the part-time engine slaved to the full-time engine using tach output from distributor, maybe. Not really sure yet how I'm going to keep them perfectly synched. But the idea here is 200+HP with 23 MPG on the highway when I want it. At any time, I will be able to neutral start engine number 2 and double my horsepower in an all-wheel-drive setup. Anybody have any experience with this uncommon setup?
