savageskaterkid Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I knew the answer to this like a month ago. I saw one on ebay too. It was a motor in the 50's I recall, it was basicly just 2 chevy V-6 engines joined at the crank. It went into alot of farm equiptment hence the farm background.

Chewievette Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Acctually they were mostly used in stationary pumps, for irrigation. You are close enough to reveal the answer, its a GMC Twin-Six. Very interesting engine, I've always wanted to put one in a street rod, certainly an eye catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
