I believe the gearbox that links both engines on a Tornado for example absorbs some 300+ HP
Each engine has its own gearbox c/w genny, fuel pump and hyd pump (r/h gearbox also has apu). The gearboxes are linked through a crossdrive clutch which from memory is normally open and closes either manually or when set to auto...with certain RPM differential (can't remember how much).
