Could you imagine one mounted transverse? Maybe in a Humvee? ;)

Indeed, very cool.
That's probably why they had to stop making the straight 8, made the hoods too long :)
 
Somewhere in my dad's story he always mentioned how smooth the straight 8's ran.
Said they would sit and idle with a glass of water on the engine and the surface of the water would not even vibrate.
 
Those engines would have been better fit under a COE or Jeep F170 type cabover.
Would not have required the mile long hood.
 
Can you imagine them trying to get a straight 8 through crash tests, now?
