How are these types of engines set up? Are the cranks like two 4cyl cranks end to end (flat plane)?Or maybe some form of crossplane?

They are crossplane but they are very long blocks. So long that the camshafts tend to bend . Alfa combated this by putting the timing chains and such in the middle of the block.
Oh and straight 8s are beautiful.

Best way to look at is is an I-4 crank in the middle of another I-4 crank that's been split in half and placed at 90 degrees.

You know a lot YSI, now i understand this Mercedes engine, it has the same as you say in the middle, but this isnt timing chain, its all gears.

Well, timing gears, chains. Almost the same thing. . . kind of. Too bad no ones makes straight 8s anymore, they sound great, but V8s are much smaller and more effective.
