Beaufighter, Hampden, suitable modicied Blenheim and/or Battle - all of these can carry a torpedo. Battle with Merlin VIII, or Taurus, or even better the Hercules, obviously just one engine needed.
The Gloster was tested with Peregrine power egg; bare engine was at 517 kg. The single-speed Merlin would do for the Gloster for a good part of the war, those engines were at ~635 kg dry, leaves more 2-speed engines for Mosquito. The Gloster with 4 cannons should be able to do fighter job today, carry a torpedo tomorrow, carry bombs the day after.
There were 2-engined jobs around that received heavier & more powerful engines - Mosquito (received 2-stage, intercooled Merlins), Bf 110 (DB 601A to DB 605A; I won't mention the Jumo 210s that were instelled because there was no DBs initially in production); Me 210 when became 410; Pe-2 was tested with ASh-82, while the M-105 versions became both more powerfule and heavier; the DB-7 got R-2600 (even was tested with turbed R-2600s) in order to became A-20 etc.
