Only advantage is it seems like something I can do and the rod change shifter would take a shift rod exiting straight out the back of the shifter housing and the two engines would all be linked together with one shifter fairly simply. More simply than 2 remote boxes, I think. And within a $500 budget limit. And then I could race a twini (preferably Trinity-- 3 engine) mini in Lemons. 848cc engines, that is.

Mike, what is the advantage or is this just to show technical prowress? Just curious.

Anyone know if he still has it?

I'd like to see how they ran the rear shift linkage...
