Holy moly. I guess it's a Pratt & Whitney 5600, "just" two R4360 Wasp Majors smashed together. Apparently it was a mock up that never ran; rumor says contemporary suspicion was the crank wouldn't be able to take the torque. Air-cooled, natch.

It would take a guy all day to set all those valves.

Improper starting technique could foul all 56 spark plugs, which would require hours to clean or replace.

I would just cry.
