Boy, that Hiller Museum is a neat place! If you can swing a visit, do.

Yeah, we have a picture of this beast in the Hiller Museum restoration shop.
I hadn't looked at it very carefully until last week maybe and then
discovered wow, 36 cylinders. It's interesting relative to other multi-row
radials in that it's basically 9 in-line 4s with overhead cams. That'd take
a heck of a plane (or boat). I wonder if they ever had a planned airframe
for the engine during design.
