I suspect that this would fall under the multple engine rule...not allowed 
except in streamliner. Also any additional displacement would figure into 
the class displacement limits if it was allowed.

If memory serves me well, Ak Miller and Dr. Ostich had planned to use a 
Harley engine to drive a supercharger in the Henry-J "Thing" and it was 
disallowed. That was 1957!!!

in the AM).
