Multiple engines?

Would it be possible to have multiple engines in a vehicle?
Seems to be feasible I believe with the still relatively new drivetrain system but I'm not entirely sure. I've been doing some personal modding lately but nothing worth releasing of course, just needed a good idea.

Concept blablabla:
I basically want to put the I6 Turbo Diesel from the T-series into the REAR of the D35 V8 Crew Cab w/camper shell. I've actually mocked it up editor style and clearances are good, I want this to be done right, proper engine port. This would be a good first mod for me if it's possible.

More nonsense:
Both engines would be independent, but I think it would really only work if It could be set up so that only one would be running at a time, like you couldn't start one if the other was on. Reason being, seems that it wouldn't work correctly if both engines where trying to run the car, drivetrain wise and other reasons; could be wrong though.
I want to keep the orginal D-Series engine in it for a sort of hybrid high efficiency mode for towing smaller packages. Plus the more weight the better! I want this thing to be at least 12k lbs.
The engine would be facing to the rear, like in a bus.
Fits in the camper with plenting of room for other critical engine internals.
Would need to move the V8's gas tank up a little, and add gas tanks for the Turbo Diesel. Perhaps scaled down versons of the T-Series gas tank which could also fit in camper.
Extra frame sections including heavyduty frame separating this beast of an engine from the driver compartment, lol so that it doesn't totally flatten the whole vehicle in a wreck.

 

Yes. The way you want, I have no idea. I haven't looked at the new powertrain stuff at all.

 

Yeah not like a combined torque curve I know that. Easy enough to port some meshes but I was wondering if you could have the two separate engines be separate entities engine J-Beam wise.

Also thanks for speedy reply

 

I believe you can, but I have no idea how, and I don't know if you can have separate transmissions and everything.

 

There's a video on Youtube of a Minicooper (I think) with twin v6's, One powering the front tires one powering the back, Why not do that? Dseries engine powering the front tires with a trans axle and the Tseries powering the rear tires with a trans axle?

 

Yeah true, was just thinking that it's a lot of torque for such a small contact patch in comparison to the T series, plus the vehicle coming in at a lighter weight with the same amount of power. I want it to put it down but ehh who cares really I'm already sold. Might just do that and another version with only the big turbo diesel and replace the D-series engine with extra T series gas tanks

 

Very informativen, I appreciate the reply. So the journey begins. Though I have at least some experience in just about every other aspect needed to make such a mod, Lua is not one of them. Can anyone recommend a good starting point/reference material?
