That must be scary to drive.

How are those engines connected?

You can see an intermediate jackshaft parallel to the engines to which the two engines are linked via chain drive, then a single chain back to the rear diff.

I absolutely love this setup. I don't know why, but it just screams 'CRAZY' to me.

I can see that the two engines will operate by commoning the throttle cables (unless there is something more sophisticated involved here). What I can't figure out is how the two gearboxes will work - can you post some info?
