As long as the engien doesn't have load correction, synchronisation is
dead easy!
On cabrs the engine level eachother out pretty much by themselves, they
will spread load equally (engines being the same would be helpfull in
this I imagen)

Citroen build a twin engined 2cv in the 60s. Worked very well and
performance of the twin engines was indeed equal to performance of 1
engine with double power.
