Be sure to give them a unique family number unless you want them to cover up the standard engines when show latest is turned on.
As an altenative you could have the streamlining give a boost to propulsion, without using any supply. Thus used in place of one engine the net result would be a decrease in supply use for the same speed. However what's going to end up happening is people are going to keep all six engines and the streamlining to get the extra speed. I think I like SJ's idea better.

[EDIT] Unless you can make the Streamlining count towards the overall max number of engines. Then you wouldn't have them abusing it to get more speed. Would that affect the higher level engines though where all have to be the same kind to get the bonus? I am not sure.
