No idea what it would cost, never heard or read a number. The COD as it sits now are $40 million a piece.

I was joking about the cost of the V-22.
Due to low production numbers, the cost of an upgraded C-2 might approach the current marginal cost of a V-22 ($76.2 million per unit, FY2013). Even if the cost of an upgraded C-2 exceeded that of an Osprey, I think it would still be a much cheaper option over the life of the airframe.
I think we can look forward to some very expensive SLEP programs for the Osprey.
(Remembered a prank in which a JO was asked to inform a C-2 crew that they might have a problem with one of their rudders)

It involves notification of next of kin.
There's an interconnect shaft, but I'm wondering if throttle advancement of good engine is automated.

Same as a twin engine helicopter.
There is a cross drive transmission that allows one engine to turn both rotors.
