I am building an Ol skool double Shovel for a customer with a few twists thrown in so I thought a build thread was in order.
This will be a classic early 70's style double running high gear only with a slipper clutch.
The first order of business is to build a set of motor plates to hold the two engines.
It all starts will two pieces of 6061 aluminum plate.
We are using 21" of crankshaft separation as well as raising the front engine 1". This makes the exhaust a little easier to do without making the engine package too long.
This is the finished left side with jackshaft location.
