Just a thought:

If it's powered by "Two Ford engines in line" and uses "a regular Ford transmission", would it actually generate a lot more speed? It seems to me it would have a lot more torque, but pushing it past about 2,000 RPM seems unlikely. Since its high gear is just Ford direct, I don't see the potential for a lot of speed.

Just my thoughts. What say the experts?

"One ride usually satisfies the curiosity." Maybe 2 wheel brakes added to the excitement.
