wuzak, first ones a beauty, since it's not a radial, what would one call that design?
X-24 maybe?
Exactly.

All in that post, except the barrel engine, are X-24s.

Another X-24 was the Vulture, which powered the Manchester and Hawker Tornado (sister to Typhoon).

The Allison X-4520 was designed by the US Army and manufactured by Allison. It was the most powerful engine at the time, at about 1200hp.

Isn't it interesting that they used fins, like a motorcycle engine on the cylinders?

''This model a 500M "Henry", designed by engineer Ernest Henry is the best racing engine ever built before 1914: the 500cc twin-cylinders double overhead camshaft and eight valves timing by gears train, while highly modern technically the secondary transmission was still by belt and single-speed without clutch''

You are welcome!

Another rare one here that not many may know about,

Enter the Cosworth JAA 1974 Engine, heavily based on the DFV from the same era,

Engine: 747cc (86×65mm) water-cooled Cosworth JAA 360-degree parallel-twin four stroke
Power Rating: “at least 110″ hp @ 10,500 rpm
Valves: twin overhead-camshafts driven by cogged belt
Fuel System: twin Amal carburetors (988, fuel injection)

Possibly Inaccurate^^
