Maybe come up with a way for both engines to use the same radiator/share coolant so that you can cut down on "extra" hardware.

This unfortunately won't work (was my original idea but a few things killed it) because my rear axle would need to be decuopled from the main trans or the small engine would have to also turn it (allot even when it is in neutral) and because the rear axle is a LSD it would quickly destroy itself if not powered
