Looking at that Tiger Site - Maybe it would be easier to oppose the engines with a center jack-shaft and reverse the rotation of the right side engine
with a constant mesh two gear transfer box.
Like the photo above except one input and one output both on the same side of the case. Could it be fabbed using 2 identical gears sourced from
automotive transmissions and a custom gearcase?

From what I hear Mr Needell has a reputation for being somewhat hard on cars in any case!

I know of several twin engined race cars that see regular abuse on the track, and I've never heard of them having gear troubles.
I think if the installation is done well with quality linkages etc, there shouldn't be a problem.
