The J-79 in the F-104 was great when it ran and a piece of crap when
it didn't which it didn't on numerous occasions.

They put a pair of them in the F-4 and every one knows how that bird
performed.

There are very high output 2 stroke motors available around 1hp/lb.
Mainly adapted from snow mobile (Rotax) applications. Used as a
single, the realibility is below what most people desire, but as a
pair, its down right usuable.

A twin powered by two unreliable engines is just an underpowered
single waiting to happen.
