Take the front end of a TD, take off fenders hood and bumper, cut whole car on passenger side of firewall and put in the back of the car. Not much engineering to that.
BTW...two alternators, 1 battery. Works fine, but would not try to start both motors at once. Two seperate ignition and computer systems is what we used. It was easiest and cheap. I spose if you were MacGyver-esc you could do something different. Keep in mind, when/if you build one of these, you will need to have both engines running anytime the car is moving or you will hose up a trans. Point is: Not a great daily driver.
