Your idea is for an mid engined car useable but i thinkt he room isn't enough to do the trick in an normal locost.
also we should bear in mind that the 2nd diff weights very much..incl. shafts etc.
i think that there is more animo to tune an 600cc engine..
i mean not by more revs because they already go crazy! but by more torque!
- TURBO!
- Injection!
- Throttle bodies!
- Bigger pistons?
because of there are cheap you can waste a couple adjusting the Turbo!
Tks
offcourse you cant compare what can i do with 600c to what can i do with 1200cc..
anyway i think there are usefull..
imagine the Audi diesel time 115BHP TURBO wow that A3 flies!
imagine an 450kgs with 115bhp...
and you know you will be quick!
The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

Perhaps a few of those dirtbike single cylinders (500 or 600 cc each) could fit in a locost and than the weight of that second diff would not be to
bad....I think
Fiddling around with those sprockets could give the proper ratio to get an acceptable speed me thinks!

Cita, if you think about which direction a north/south engine will have its output shaft (ie pointing down the tunnel), unless you use bevel gears to
turn the drive through 90 degrees you couldnt drive the two sprockets you have highlighted and there is no way there is enough room in the front to
put two engines side by side east/west.

Now I understand, thank you.
It just was an idea I thought could help you.

No problems, it was a good idea, like I said the way you've laid it out might possibly work in a rear engined car

I have been working this problem out in my head and I have a solution that will work well and will require only one machined part (splined jackshaft).
Everything else would be fabricated with common shop tools.
I don't have time right now to describe it, so later on I will sketch it out and upload the scan. You can all cut it to pieces at that time...
