Not my cup of tea, but damn it, it's still cool.

No, it's not some mirror effect, trick photography or a camera on acid.... well, can't vouch for the camera being acid free, the pictures are a tad blurry.

Old school with a new twist, a couple of 4.6s
Cool no doubt.

I would file it under "too much time on my hands" :)

Yup! Guess he had to tame it down a little...

Edit: I was hoping the pictures you linked would show exactly how the two engines are hooked up to that single transmission, but they don't.

Ignition: Pro Com CD system, distributors are new magnetic pick/up type 1939 Ford flathead
V8s replicas, custom made adaptors on back of blocks driving through the valve cover
connecting to the overhead cam shaft on each motor via slotted end.

One starter motor per engine, which start both engines together.

Driveline: Gates 90mm by 14mm pitch Poly Chain GT Carbon via
steelsprockets and a custom machined 2inch spline shaft driving a 3spd Ford C5
automatic transmission. Custom built bell housing. Think of a triangle.
Machine work by Micar Fab Las Vegas.
