The Twin Mustang uses Allison G series V-1710 engines. It is not a problem at all to find an engine, and even if it is the engine for the other side, it is not a problem to convert it.

Propellers, however, can be a problem, they are a problem for the P-38 as well. Especially considering what a piece of crap the Curtiss Electric propeller is.

I feel like it would be mandatory for the other guy to have controls.  How messed up would it be if he didn't?  If the pilot was wounded and couldn't get out but still alive and the co-pilot/radar operator bailed out that would be messed up.  Also, I thought it was supposed to be a long range escort fighter with two pilots to ease the load of the boring flight so they should have two control sticks.

Yea, was it the 109Z. I believe they experiment a twin 190 and see a pic of twin He-111.

Speaking of the twin Mustang, was there somebody on this bbs claim their dad or grandfather flew the AC over Japan during the war?

The He 111Z went into limited production. It wasn't a bomber though, but a glider tug.
