A related story. Not an FE project, I'm sure - but two engines, front and rear.
Pop Mechanics or Car and Driver or one of those... built a two engine car based on a fwd, 4-cyl compact. Probably n the '80's. I thought it was a Honda or maybe an Escort. Anyway, they added a duplicate engine in the rear, complete with stock fwd drivetrain. I think it had to be an automatic, since coordinating two linkages + clutches would be a project in itself. As I recall they had to move the gas tank and also did some suspension work so it would handle decently. Apparently it went like a bat out of heck.
No link between the two engines/drivetrains other than a throttle cable. And the tire/road interface.
