I SO NEED a snow blower like this . Looks like an old “ Drag-Master “ chassis from early to mid ‘60’s . I especially got a chuckle outta that guy explaining how “ Both engines are synchronized and the spark plugs are even gapped the same”. …😆. None the less it’s way Cool to see old Iron 392 Hemi’s run . I’m 64 almost & saw my share of drag racing in the mid -late 60’s-70’s-80’s & 90’s . In recent last 20 years or so now I’ve only been a handful of times to Pomona to watch WINTER-NATIONALS as prices have gotten up to where it’s hard to justify me driving up from San Diego ( fuel cost ) paying parking ( more cost ) & admission fares ….. still very much entertaining, but it’s gotten past the point where innovation from guys in garages had a chance to show off whatever their young minds could conjure up and do it on a working man’s budget . Now it’s multi Million or more dollar teams that come out to play & we poor spectators are expected to fund it all ….. I miss those early days .

You appear to be keeping it period correct. In 1966, my auto shop teacher and mentor was Lee Johnson, whose father owned Johnson's Brake Service in Flint, Michigan. Prior to my meeting Lee, he had already built a 1929 Ford Sedan called "The Sleeper". Because of our bonding relationship and my eagerness to learn, Lee allowed me (at age 18) to work with him to race the car before converting it to strictly a show car. Lee had extended the frame and installed a '48 Ford straight axle. Buick Motor Division donated three of their race engines for the project. Lee had mounted the engines inline as you have. Only the rear engine had a starter and the #1 and #2 engines were coupled with a fabricated 4-tooth industrial sprocket, connecting a ganged four-row industrial chain. The #3 engine was mounted where the front seat area would normally be, with all of it mounted to a 4 speed HD GMC truck transmission, mounted to an HD GMC truck differential. An escape hatch was cut into the roof above the driver seat, which was mounted where the rear seat would normally be. This was before reliable fuel injection, so Lee fabricated his own intake manifolds from exhaust tubing and mounted 8 single barrel stromberg carburetors on each engine. It took 4 people to cold-start the car. One man per engine acting as hand choke on the tubes and the driver to initiate the starting sequence. Watching the start sequence was a crowd-pleaser by itself, watching those three guys do their hand-dance. WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS ? We used 14" bias-ply racing slicks for traction, as you appear to be using on your car. That failed miserably to get traction. They just burned up at the line. The answer ? We mounted four GMC truck wheels with a 14" slick on each. It was the first time it had been done and it looked demonic. From that point on the track at Midland Dragstrip (Midland, Michigan) had to change. We were saved to near the end of "the show" to retain audience. When we pulled to the line and staged, nobody knew what to expect so the crew stood back (good thing). When Lee (also driver) let the hydraulic clutch go, the tires smoked and the pavement actually buckled. Lee left the line to thunderous applause. That became the last run of the day due to track damage. Track management dug out and repaved the launch area with 6" of tarmac over concrete since this would become an ongoing occurrence with newer cars. It only happened with Lee due to the vehicle weight. You may want to try this wheel/tire arrangement, primarily for its crowd appeal.

Interesting , i didn’t know that Nitro would explode in cold weather ! This is the reason why i watch this show , is because i learn things that i am interested in ! Thank you for that fella’s !

I'm one minute into the video and I can't stop smiling!!! They haven't even fired them up yet!!This is gonna be great!😀👍

Very cool,it’s more than a hobby it’s minds like yours that keep this country going,glad to see next generation do that kind of craftsmanship

What's better than one blown Hemi? Two blown Hemis!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Impressive..and actually sounds like a sewing machine ..smooth

Outstanding!

Beautiful build! Great video

You learn something every day

the right music in the background is fantastic😊

That starter dude better be careful with those strings hanging from his hood. He's gonna find out what an 8-71 is all about when he gets sucked in Legit engines anyways !!

Awesome 👌

Where ARE the tire chains !! K88 extended version. Ok, it’s warmed up switch it over to fuel ! By the weather it looks like it’s time to put tracks and skis on that baby ! Looks like a good crowd! Have fun !

The #1 takeaway here is that "Nitro don't do good in cold weather."

Yes sir. My car runs on e85 built and tuned by Mad scientist Auto Ashland Ky . I can go out and start it in 20 degrees. It’s all in the tuner and builder. I love it

Now the hours of maintenance to remove that Methanol out of everything.

My favorite hemi wish i had another one

Put wings on that monster it’d fly I’m sure

Sweet😊😊😊😊😊

The 392 Hemi was only marketed in 1957 & 1958 and only in New Yorkers and Imperials.

Ran it for 2 mins. Polished the chrome to get the snow/water spots off for the next 2 hours.

Holy Cow Batman

OK. Nice Stuff 👍

Don Garlits loved the 392 hemi but disliked the Chrysler version 426 hemi.

Wild! Where was this at? Looks like an indoor car show?

I've seen this back in the 1950s

Liquid Dynamite!!

Does it have direct drive just clutch❓

Do you have to start them on alcohol first and then transfer it over to Nitro methane is that how it works on these motors appreciate any answers thank you and thank you for sharing the video

What's better than one hemi two hemis happy hemi owners association LOL

Frankie "Killer" Burke the announcer...

snowing

How much HP both say 2000-2500hp❓👍

What’s with the straps over the heads ? Would it blow up?

Why two? Novelty of it? I dunno one engine can burn the tires down .

didnt even tap it a couple of times...very disappointing...very nice motors though..!!!

That chassi couldn’t handle one of those motors let alone two lol

Tires aren’t big enough fellas

where's the 3rd engine?

They are engines not motors

Guess none of these folks haven't ever been to a tractor pull!!! Have seen one of them that had 8 engines!!!

47 degrees timing?

All that build up and not even one throttle wack!

And ???? No VAROOOM. ???? Sad you had them running and zero sample of the real Sound and Power. Oh Well. Your Show

Can't see past the engines

BAD AS

Hard to hear them talk with annoying shit music ..
