Just recently found these early construction pictures. Was to be motivated by two blown smallblock Chevies cross-mounted!

When we started TwoToGo we had one picture of the "Greeks" Twin, now we have 13 ! ( 5 more HERE ) To the left you will see Chris has the essintial parts to re-create this beast. It's possible the task has already begun.

Not only set Top Speed ( 171.10 mph ) at the 1960 US Nationals, won Best Engineered Car. Set Top Speed on gasoline ( 175.78 mph ) again at the 61 Nationals.

The Twin that literally tore chunks out of the starting line at the Nationals.

A long time advocate of in-line twins, Lefty Mudersbach not only went side-by-side with this one, he added a second rear end.

What can you say about Mickey Thompson ! There just aren't many things he

didn't try.

Of the 186 twins we have so far, 18 used the side-by-side method for locating the

engines.

Jack Chrisman drove the "TWIN BEAR" to the 1961 NHRA World Championship.

Another rear-enginend Side by Side Twin

project, this one from Scotty Fenn. Don't

think it ever was completed.

The first twin using the side by side engine configuration was Jazzy Nelson. The last we know of is the Jon Pulver twin. 

The Howard Cams "Twin Bear" is being re-created using many of these original parts.                                                                         Don Prieto Photos

This project on temporary ( we hope ) hold.

Green Valley, Texas  -  The last run the

Twin Bear made. Earlier rains caused the wet chutes not to open in time.
