Large Displacement (500 Cubes +/-) Straight-6 gas engine?

Just wondering if anybody knows of a 1/24 or 1/25 large-displacement engine around 500 cubic inches that anyone has available or if the resin folks have one coming along eventually?  Am intending to put it into a 50's old school (used to be a tractor trailer truck but is now) semi-retired farm dump truck?  Thanks in advance for your response/guidance.

I don't know of anyone that makes big gas straight sixes but Texas_3D_Customs just did the GMC twin six.that and the Super Duty v8 from the C600 are about the only ones available of the shelf.

Cut up a Rolls-Royce Merlin or an Allison V-1710 and make up a good story about an 825ci or 855ci heavy truck engine. The Brits had the Rolls-Royce Meteor. The US had the Ford GAA (1650ci V-12 cut down to an 1100ci V-8)
