Overheated all the time, almost impossible to get the timing right, and not that much more power that the new design V8s that started appearing shortly after.

I believe Cadillac did too (sp?). Big, fuel hungry, weighed WAY too
much, as they were simply two straight 8's on an expanded common
crankshaft -- twin ignition systems, twin carb systems, the whole
works. Hand start too, although Cadillac had an electric starter by
then.
