You could probably improve the torque characteristics by changing the synchronization of the two engines. Setting the cranks with both engines at top dead center (like an eight cylinder flat plane crank) would improve the torque at low revs. Setting them so the top dead centers are 90 degrees apart would make it better at high revs.

I had a Lada , three years the only thing broke was a stuck themostat , but got home , 200 milles , by going full blast on the heater . It was hard to get through air care because of the carb , the Lada service department would tune the engine to pass air care, then adjust to run better after it passed , they would even run it through for me , no charge .

Ive been thinking that since i first time they fired it up and you see that front engine rocking around, in the first video you can see they used thin wall steel, flexes too much.

[@consolehacker54]

A lot of the problem is that weld where the engines are connected together will never be perfectly straight/balanced. If the engines were not allowed some flex they would probably end up tearing eachother apart. Better to have a shaft welded to each engine and balanced then some kind of joint bolting it together like a rear wheel drive shaft
