Thats one thing about detroits, its not that hard to bolt them together being as modular as they are.

The biggest issue is finding a starter to turn it over. I would have thought they would have used an air starter.

Besides its still two 12 cylinders bolted together, detroits factory grenade motor which didn't even need Junk and Trouble to help them out.

A pair of turbine engines would give similar performance....wouldn't even have to modify the hatch covers that much...plus you can roast wieners on the exhaust!!
