Upon my arrival into ZZZ; I attempted to lower my landing gear and noticed my front nose wheel did not extend fully in the mirror and I was not getting an indication light. I was on final and waited until a minute to see if it would eventually lock in place. I advised ZZZ tower that I needed to conduct a right 360 after they already issued me a clearance to land and informed them that I was having a gear issue. While conducting a 360 steep turn; I was able to get the front nose wheel to lock and a green indication light came on. After returning to final and tower issuing me another clearance to land; I reduced my throttles and set them for landing but noticed my RPM gauges were stuck and I was unable to see what my power settings were. I reduced my throttles to idle as I was approximately 300 yards away from Runway XX at which time my right engine failed. I was able to get the aircraft safely into ground effect and taxied to the local FBO. I am not sure what caused the engine failure; after talking with a mechanic he believes it is a fuel/mixture ratio; however; I do believe the gear issue is most likely low hydraulic pressure which needs to be addressed.
PA-23 Pilot reported landing gear extension issue and engine failure on short final.
