I’m building a 1969 pro modeler dodge Daytona with two 426 HEMI’s put together as a 852ci V16 backed up by a 4speed and Dana 60. It will be biult as a land speed/dodge prototype mythical monster that could probably make close to 1000hp and 1000ft/lbs of torque (my hp-torque figures are only mythic and my not be correct)

Yep, your hp figures are a little off. A Stock 10.25 compression ratio 426 Hemi makes around 511 to 528 horse, not 426 as advertised. A NASCAR or drag race, race Hemi at 12.5 to 1 cr made almost 700 hp. Roughly 685 or so. So for sake with modern times it makes only 700. A pair would be 1400. Supercharge em and make 2k. lol

You could have used Chrysler's first Hemi..........Inverted V-16, 2200 cubic inches, 2500 HP WW2 aircraft engine installed in a P-47 for testing purposes. War ended before going into production.

How about this 30 cylinder Hemi tank engine that did go into production during WWII by Mopar.  5 cranks, and 5 magnetos, and 5 carbs.  :)
