If the two motors are mounted on the same platform, then used a rigid coupler that will provide a connection that perfectly aligned shafts. Use a taper lock shaft coupler.
Use a motor clamp shell with a platform base or build your own motor mounting. Position two motors on a thick aluminum mounting plate not less than 3/4 inch thick and not less than grade 80 hardness or use 1/2 inch chrome moly steel plate. Do not bolt the motors in place yet. Couple the motors together and position the motors on the base plate. Use a feeler gage to see is the motor platforms are touching the base plate. Check any gaps with a feeler gage and adjust the motor plate by loosening and re-tightening the mounting bolts. All my shaft connections are by the Dodge Power Transmission Company or call Dodge PT components. Many machine shops handle Dodge PT or Browning components.
