I don't know if it was made by Pontiac but my boss when I was in high school had an IH with a cut in half v8. It was upright, not laid on its side. He got a good laugh at my jaw dropping when he opened the hood. Looked just like someone made it at home with a Sawzall and welded a plate on.

What has ten cylinders, twenty pistons, two crankshafts, and no valves?

Been in use from 1930's to present day.

That sounds like the Fairbanks Morse two piston per cylinder engines that was used in Submarines. Am I close?

What diesel engine series had spark plugs fired by a magneto? No, these are not glow plugs.

There was a radial aircraft engine that had no carburetors. Only RPM control was to turn ignition on & off.
What was it???

Our JD Model A ran on diesel fuel and had spark plugs.

Rhone-Gnome rotary aircraft engine. I think the crank was mounted to the fuselage and the prop was on the crankcase.

Marshall Dillon rode Buck on Gunsmoke and after it ended Ben Cartwright rode Buck on Bonanza.

Close enough. Buck the horse was in both shows. Loren Greene like the horse so much he bought it and took it home.

Yep and due to the gyroscope effect it would turn sharply one way but very poorly the other.
