yea i'v seen a Twin V8 in parallel where one engine would operate in reverse so the crankshaft gears would mesh together and that would be output to a transmission. Very awesome appearence with 16 headers pointing everywhere
I'v had this idea for a 12 cylinder engine not a V-12 or a L12, 2 L6 side by side with the flywheels that transfer power to a central fly to send power to the transmission, something you could also do is chance the ratios on the fly wheel for torque or top speed. so mabey top speed for the transmission and tortue for the acessories (ALT, AC, power steering, what ever).
Some benifits. shorter crankshafts, smaller diameter flywheels, mabey half engine operation if electric clutches where use on the flywheels.
