I've Googled for everything I can find on 2 engines driving 1 prop.
There are several military and civilian examples. Nowhere did I see
that a ME rating was required of the pilot. I'm familiar with ME
Centerline thrust.

Cites, observations and comments please.

if memory serves, even a Cessna Skymaster
can be flown on an SEP license
because there's no issues with assymetric thrust
so there shouldn't be any problem in your case

If my memory serves, the C-337 does require a
multi rating. However, it can be a multi rating
with a Centerline Thrust limitation; and that would
be the case if the rating was obtained in a C-337.

The limitation on privileges could later be removed
with further training and a proficiency check in a
"normal" twin...

I tend to think, as did an earlier poster, that a
fixed wing aircraft with two engines with a single
prop might be thought of as simple redundancy
(similar to dual fuel pumps) until the configuration
achieves some popularity--whether current or
anticipated.

However, remember that this is a very popular
(although expensive) configuration in helicopters.
I call to the local FSDO and/or a visit to the
next FAA Safety Seminar in your area would
be a *very* good idea!
