I pulled a 413 ci flathead 6 out of a '54 Dodge that looked like that.

 

A 413" 6cyl??

Dang
I need one of those for no reason at all

 

I could lean it over

 

That's one big 6. With a weight of 1100 lbs I can see why it was never offered in a car or light truck

 

This is where mine lives now. The video was made when it just had the little 377 ci engine. Chris King sent a video of it with my old 413 running around a Bonneville a year or so ago but I can't find it right now.

My buddy and I pulled it out of a truck that was converted to run a ball mill for a mining outfit on the Comstock Lode near here. Our plan was a cheep and easy lakester build for Bonneville vintage engine glass but it was too big for the vintage classes. They have a 375 ci limit. For the regular laster class the record was close to 300mph and tires alone would cost over $3000! We had an Honest John missile nose cone and other pieces. But yes it is big and heavy.

They made them in a radial version, Chrysler multi-bank.

From wiki - The Chrysler A57 Multibank is a 30-cylinder 1,253 cu in (20.5 L) engine that was created in 1941 as America entered World War II. It consists of five banks of inline-6 cylinder engines.

 

Reminds me of Henry Fords X8...
