Re: Power Plant Question
The way we use to run two SBC is in phase - 180 degrees out. With aluminum rods there will not be the problem with harmonics that we use to run into with steel rods. Also, I am partial to a two groove piston with very little skirt.

Re: Power Plant Question
Coupled together...not connected. Connected the harmonics will kill the front brg of the second engine.

Re: Power Plant Question
The orientation is back to front. The pins do not slip in...they drop in from the side and are captured between the two halves of the coupler. This allows some floating and flexing. This kind of coupler is used a lot in the oil field to connect a series of pumps to a single diesel engine.

Re: Power Plant Question
These couplers handle incredible amounts of torque and MUST be dependable. When I got the idea for this project I went to a tractor pull and asked questions.
