Back in the 1970’s, there was a Pinto wagon running around North Jersey with a 425 / TH425 in the back.
The wheelie bars were completely necessary.
There have been a lot of mods using the Toro drivetrain.

I bought my first spare TH425 from a guy who used it to install a SB Chevy as a mid-engine in a Vega coupe. Ran out of money and income before finishing the project.
Citroen did 4WD in the 2CV by putting an engine on both ends. The driver would select front wheel, rear wheel or all wheel drive. Sold in Africa.
Imagination can run wild, if you let it.

There's one on Ebay right now. We experimented with dual powertrains at GM as a way to achieve decent fuel economy and yet have great performance when needed. We had a twin engine Citation that was an absolute sleeper. It was a mule for future Corvette development. I had a lot of fun with that car on Woodward Ave !

Larry,
Try dialing up "1995 Mosler twin engine Cadillac". This is two Northstars.
I remember the original article, but don't remember where.

This is not the 500 but the twin Northstar:
