Twin Bike Engines (TBEs) are engines comprised of two regular I4 OEM bike engines linked through a common crankshaft. But my question is whether you could join the outputs of both into a gearbox that puts it into a common prop shaft. Would the vibration be intolerable? Would the gearbox be needlessly heavy? Otherwise, I see that as a practical solution to adding horsepowert to a light car or motorcycle.

Throttle control issue both have to run at exactly the same speed or one engine fights the other. Has been tried twin engine VW rabbit one engine and gear box front and one rear. The inventor just turned one off and drove the front wheel drive most the time because electronic controls weren't developed to match rpm's.
