The swedish truckmaker (lorryes) Scania has found that gearboxes takes more tourqe from a V8 and then from a straight-6. These are big engines (up to 16.000cc) with loads of flywheel and rotating mass, so one might think that the pulses from the engine sould not matter that much. But it does.

You're right, I forgot temporarily about push rods. If this did have overhead cams you wouldn't have to worry about timing the two cranks together. Actually you could offset the phases so that there was only just as much strain on the valve train as a stocker, only twice as often.
