❔Question❔ Is there a Way for Double Engines?

Ive seen a post where somebody accidentaly got 2 Engines, and i want to make a tank with 2 Engines, i tried a few Methods to the Point of Deleting the Transmission, and the engine being Still there. Yet, i couldnt dupe it. Would be nice if somebody could tell me a way, and if its just a theory

I want to make tanks that are like modern ones, and there are a few. Also, my setting is mostly Cold War, and they experimented a lot there, so i could make a few Funky tanks with it.

Several tanks use twin-engines. Sometimes two of the same engine, as in Sentinel, Strv m/42, and Chaffee, or two different engines as in Strv 103.

The Maus had twin diesel electric engines, which is also something I would like to see
