That reminds me of Steven Wright's quote: "I put a new engine in my car, but I didn't take the other one out. Now I can go 500 mph."
Does this help prove that the 164 is the ultimate "do everything" vehicle?

I thought carrying a washing machine on my 164's leather rear seat was sacriligous, but that takes the cake 
I would love to see a bimotore 164 with a second front subframe installed at the rear, wheels locked straight ahead - it would be awesome.

Yes! EXACTLY like that, perfect!
I think auto transmission would be the way to go (both ends). Can't see if that has a manual in the back but the rods leading from the front suggest that might be the case. I bet the acceleration and weight distribution is pretty good, though the range on that fuel tank might be limited. Just imagine the sound, too...! "Turning engine 1... turning engine 2..."

I wonder if you could put tanks under the back seat, enough radiator/s in the nose and keep the air con, roll the rear engine backwards a bit (back to each bank being 30* from vertical) and put the back seats back in... and avoid ventilating the bootlid etc to make a real sleeper...
