uncommon hot rod engine choice

[Xingu]

Small turbo diesel. Not knowledgeable enough to point you to any kits that would have one though.

You can have 8 carbs or fuel injection, but not both.   I'm using the same motor in my '48 Ford custom- I used the 8 carbs and made aluminum velocity stacks and it looks pretty wicked. The plug wires are shrouded so that makes it real easy to wire, just need to drill a hole in the ends of the shrouds big enough to glue 4 wires in. The front cover has a nice flat bottom that makes mounting pretty easy.

Plumbing and linking 8 carbs will offset the ease of wiring the heads. I've seen some pics of other intakes that could be cool to scratchbuild.

This '41 Plymouth flathead six is in my '34 Ford sedan...

I'm planning a deuce coupe with the Revell Chevy 409.  I haven't decided on the intake yet though.

Now for some strange reason I have a burning urge to build something with an early Hemi in it.

I am trying to remember which older Lincoln kit has the V-8, or maybe a V-12, with the exhaust exiting through the top of the block and the intakes on the side.  I want to say it may have been a 1928 model, possibly one the the older Gangbusters series.

How about the DOHC inline six from the jag XKSS?
