Second motor has a separately mounted water pump on the side, run off a belt, connected to the block by hoses.

Kinda neat, really.

I've actually had the pleasure of doing a little work on this fine automobile. My best friend here in Olympia rebuilt the carbs. It's the most unique thing I've ever seen. And, from what I've read of the other duel engine '66 Toronado, this one by far is the better "creation" of the two.

Boss, schmoss.

The last time I got a "letter placed in my file" I asked her for suggestions about what I should do next to PO the CEO and earn another reprimand letter (yes, I am an SOB ).

Wow that had me looking at the clock to see if I could drive to Olympia.
Use to dream of a car just like that.
Sounds loud, maybe just the video? Made my night checking that out!

You kids be quiet in the back seat. I'm tired of hearing about engine noise!
