Richard and Lynn..
If you ever get a chance to see a parts exploded break down of the engine,it is impressive..
I was referring to the concept of the design rather than the reliability...a cross between a radial and a inline..or a combination of the two..all the normal engine functions..to get them to work...so many questions...How did the engine oil system work??If the crank was in the center of the five blocks,which were cast into one block,and radiated out from the center,where did the oil go and how did it work../?pressure system??..//...Timing???..I could see fuel injection working on the engine but these were carbureted...
I'll have to read up on the operation of the beast...but Dodge made good engines...
