So just a crazy idea I've been pondering. If I were to build a crankcase to mount 2 xs400 heads on a 45 degree v-twin configuration, would it be possible to get the cylinders to fire in a correct order?

Someone made a working V-triple Harley: anything's possible if you throw enough time, money, and elbow grease at it.
You'd have to get a crankshaft made from scratch and make a custom ignition system, but that's easy peasy after fabricating the crankcase....
Actually you know... you might be able to use the stock cams and ignitions if the crank were made to match. Set the timing for the second set of cylinders 360 behind the first maybe.

anything is possible, just check out Allen Millyard's V10 viper, V twin Honda SS50, V13 Kawasaki, and flying Millyard. The original V twin SS50 was done using hack saws and a very steady hand.
