The 3 engine car was rebuilt with 4 wheel drive. The 3 carb engine drives the rear axle, and the coupled front engines are reversed 180 and drive the front axle,
if I remember the build article correctly. I think the single engine brought the car up to some speed, and the dual engines ran the high end. All three were built by Edelbrock, were 296" and ran an alky/nitro mix for around 250 hp each.
Correction-the car was converted to 4-wheel drive in '54 while still running two engines.
