Welding motors together

At a show today and seen this 4 cylinder Briggs " motors". Pretty unique and even runs. Workmanship is incredible...

That is really great work, Bill! It would really be interesting to know more about the fabrication behind this!

Thanks for the pictures.

That's been at Jacktown a few years now, I thought it was pretty neat when I first seen it.

Great looking job. It must have been really tricky to get the two middle ones synced and the two ends synced for the firing order. Also the cams. Did you look to see what the v-belt is for? A starter maybe?

I have seen that engine a couple times at the local shows. Amazing piece

I saw the videos he did on YouTube while he was making it. Pretty cool how he did it but never showed how he did the crank and cam. IIRC he said he wasn't going to show that cause he didn't want anyone to copy him or something like that. Here's the link to the playlist of the build: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOkM2h167hjoHdkDu4dW1ujTyUSoU3BPE

Those guys have a lot of good videos on what they make or do.

I'd like to see it in a motorcycle!

Very cool! I want to make a V8 out of weed eater engines. and put it on a 1/4 scale tractor.

I remember watching a youtube video on this a several years ago. Very neat. I'd love to see it run in person. Bet it has a unique sound

 

[MFDAC]

Very cool but I don't have time to watch it all! First video wouldn't work for me so I didn't catch what B/S engines were used for this build. Also kinda irritating they are with holding some "secrets".

I guess the cams would be integral with each engine but #1 piston would have to be at TDC of compression stroke while #4 would have be at TDC of exhaust stroke while #3 and #2 would have be the same as #1 and #4.

It uses a Briggs 6S.

You're probably right. I would think too on the distributor and how its geared would be a major thought process too.
This guy sure had some late nite dreams when he built this .
