Joints for the A-arm? Just use the k-member, lock the steering rack in place, hook up the brake lines, and yes the sway bar is a must. > But what about electronics? How does this work? Two computers?

So I suppose the question is > can one battery crank over two engines at once (or can you just instead > fire them up one at a time?) 2 computers, 2 alternators, 1 battery, On/Off and starter switch on the dash board for the rear engine. You can see the switches in the Gallery pictures Chad posted. Also, having two working dashes is important. I believe we cut up some used jumper cables to power the rear engine. > Just some details to consider in a twin-engine (2E) Daytona. > > -J Southern California Forced Induction Jeff Chojnacki http://home.wi.rr.com/jpcturbo '87 Lebaron 2.2 T2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] '88 Daytona Shelby Z '88 Caravan TBI Waukesha, WI.
