This thread is the best leg pull I have ever read. 1 pinto is bad 2 is just funny farm stuff.
Even if it could actually move under its own steam an out the box Rover K16 1.8T 180ps engine would more power at the wheels for 1/4 the weight.
If you want a straight 8 buy a Rolls-Royce B81 alloy engine from an airfield fire tender.
Time to get back to the real world .

the power transmitted by friction belts belts is proportional to both the coeff. of friction (between pulley and belt) and the tension on the tight
side of the driving pulley. So assuming you had a belt strong enough you could transmit any power you want. for v belt pulleys there is modification
to the coeff. of friction to allow for the pulley geometry, and for toothed belt its entirely down to the strength of the belt used
all in belts can transmit any amount of power you want by either having strong or multiple belts

British-Trident,
Oh well I suppose that means I need to get a new user name before anyone takes me seriously in future I suppose I also need another name to try
another wind up sometime

Problem comes with the massive cantilever loads on the pulley shafts, Morse hy-vo chains are a better bet in automotive drive situations, they worked
pretty well in the old 1800 Landcrab automatic and the original Olds Tornado.

anyway
chaindrive is an better purpose offcourse it will make noise..
Any way its logically that belts can drive 500BHP but offcourse we didn't had the room for it, also an belt needs tension, and tension results
in strong bearings...etc..
anyway don't build an car for 2 pinto's is the conclusion ok?
Build it with 2 rovers K8 or just one Ally V8
atleast my 2p(euro cents )
Tks

dubsport twin-engined VWs were done in a similar fashion
