I think by the time you had spent many many hours trying to engineer it and found it will not work well, you would have a destroyed truck and no good to show for your time. First, there is no room for all that would be required for two engines to function properly. With turned up fuel, there has never been a time we sat in the truck and said "Wish I had more power!!". We do not just drive casually, we work the trucks, so power is important to us, and we have all we need with the original power train.

Some ideas are not well suited to be discussed on an open forum IMHO...don't expect many new engineering solutions to pop up.
Firstly, do a patent search.

How about installing a secant engine that you could engage when more tork is needed.
I thot about running them thou a limited slip dif. but I don't no if that would work.
p.s. I cant spell today
All you need to do to get more torque is to downshift. What you are really asking for is more horsepower. How about ONE good engine? ie cummins 5.9 or DT466

My old boss told me about a trucker he ran across, years ago. This guy had an Olds V-8 mounted behind the cab of his truck. Apparently, when he was pulling in the mountains, he'd fire up the Olds, and use it for extra hill power. The story goes, that he had some kind of gearbox attached tot he bellhousing, and a multi-belt drive around the driveshaft, somehow. After much consideration on the subject, I think it would probably be a project better left to legend.
A guy I used to work with is a mechanic in the National Guard. He tells me that the best way to destroy a Deuce drivetrain, is to try an go much over the base output of the NHC250.

Just $.02 from a new guy.
If I could get my deuce up to "the base output of the NHC250" I'd be happy. I honestly don't think the multifuel is up to the task though.

I would like to stick with a multifuel engine.
