A twin engine car might be best left as a weekend driver. are you planning on having one engine power the rear wheels and the other the front? they can be quite difficult to get runnning the same which can be harmful to both engines. I can't even imagine trying to daily driver a two engine car.

You might to rethink the project. Tommy Ivo ran a side by side Buick powered rail that meshed on the flywheel ring gear, but had to have one engine running backwards, I think the Hotwheels twin engine show car uses 2 transmissions and 2 differentials in the same housing and the engines having no connection other than controls.
