Or would it be better to install a second engine in the trunk? Any advice?

Default Sport Compact Car had a guy who hooked up two Hyundai engines in one car.
Alfa did it with straight 8s back in the late 20's/early 30's and went racing ( thirsty ).

No, you just get double the torque. Need to be hooked up in series to double the power.

Default That solves the reliability issue. Twice the oil smoke though!
I saw a CRX with an engine mounted in the rear!
