This is a twin-engine, air-cooled, 1971 Volkswagon Squareback gasser dubbed “two Cool” built by Ron Howe.
Power comes from two Volkswagen air cooled 2.3 liter flat four engines with empi carburetors and their own independent oil cooling systems, bolted together at the crankshaft through a flex plate, and together produce over 350 horsepower.
The two engines are hard mounted to the chassis and paired with a tremec 5 -speed manual transmission and Ford 9 inch rear end with a detroit locker, sending power to the rear 18 inch tires.

A front motored VW Squareback Gasser with a flat eight motor? The mind boggles. That's awesome. Too/two cool.

@stevenborham1584
@stevenborham1584 2 месяца назад
The most genius aspect of this car is hinted at in its sound. Ron has phased the two engines crankshafts by 90 degrees to end up with almost exactly a "Big block" v8 firing order/sound. He could have just connected them in series to have same cylinders fire together in each engine which would make it sound no different to just one engine. The Scat engine components probably permit the V8-type firing order as the original VW cranks would probably be prone to breakages with the torsional excursions of the long combined crankshaft.

EXTREMELY unique project that makes other builders look silly. Karl from Japhands (Make it Kustom), Brent from Halfass Kustoms, Paul from FabRats and many others need to see what actually being CREATIVE is and start using something other than an LS engine in a build. Thumbs up Ron!

Insane build - oldschool design - Almost a gasser. Too cool could easily be the graphics on the doors and it would still be an understatement... A product of hard labour, a big love and a great sense of humor. The craftsmanship is excellent/masterclass.
