Dual Chevy V8 Buggy
Tired of the same old stuff in the hot rod community, Yannick Sire set off to create on something unique. Something that would combine dragster type power with the Rad Rod aesthetics. He also required it to be comfortable and dependable to drive.
The engines are two Chevy 350 ci with AFR heads making about 450 horsepower each. Since all the accessories are attached to the rear engine, the car can still operate with the front engine gone. Custom headers relieve the 16 cylinders and also create a sound like an old P51. Keeping the engines cool are three radiators.
The frame is all hand built from tubular chrome-moly by Yannick. The rear differential is a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears attached to a three-link suspension. The rear suspension can travel up to seven inches. The front suspension uses QA1 coilovers with custom length A-arms and 2nd generation Camaro two inch drop spindles. Stopping power is supplied by 14 inch Z06 brakes on each wheel.
If you were wondering like I was, the car is estimated to be 2,500 lbs.
