Many early V8s used a flat crank as a 4 cyl car. Especially if the conrods shared a common big end as on radial aircraft, the assembly would not be long so not far fetched.
When the Queen visted NZ in 1953 a straight 8 Daimler was imported . I understand it devoured several cranks in its total life as an inter city newspaper carrier.
The single cyl cadillac was noted for broken cranks (these may have been overhung)
