The front engine was originally modified in the 1920's for airplane use, it features; waukesha-Ricardo cylinder head, suremike counterbalanced crankshaft, pressure oiling, special grind camshaft, rare Ditterman 5-blade cooling fan, and a pinto distributor.
The rear engine has high compression pistons, milled head, Bosch distributor, a single Kingston carburetor that supplies fuel to both engines, an electric air pump, stock length 1926 Model T frame, Model T transmission, a 3.63:1 rear axle.
