Before worrying about fitting it (which you should be able to without much issue) I would be more concerned about where you will be sourcing this V twin motor. My understanding is that the one in the video is a 1 off custom build. I know MHZ were building a V set up for sikk motors but cringe at the thought of what that may cost.

getting hardware and prop - least of your problems. Getting the motor together and running reliably would be my focus right now.
Leave prop purchase till near the end - any changes you may make in the mean time will make your prop selection redundant. For 2 zenoahs stock ungeared/unoverdriven I would think a prop like the 8015/3 propshop or similar would be a good choice (surface driven). If you overdrive then that choice would certainly change.
For hardware - Take your pick - theres tons of good options out there. If your considering doing the work to assemble the motors in a V then you may also consider building your own strut and rudder.

This engine is called a v2 but they are 2 separate engineĀ“s and not an v2 carter like a harley does have.
