Eddie Hill's 1962 Dragster

I ran across an article in a 1962 Hot Rod magazine about Mr. Hill's twin Pontiac powered dragster . Quite a machine !

You-all probably know this , but I didn't realize until I read the article , that the engines were an intregal part of the frame . With each engine having its own driveline going into a tube rearend with two sets of 1948 Ford gears . Running 190mph/8.30 at the time . Quite a engineering feat by Mr. Hill !!
