Ah yes, the Monza 2+2.
Originally intended to have a Wankel engine, they couldn't get the corner seals to work so they dropped a long straight 6 in a place intended for a compact Wankel.
As a result you could barely see the 4th spark plug where the engine vanished under the fire wall, you could almost get a wrench on the 5th plug, and to change the last plug, you had to drop the engine!

Nice quiet operation, and using a lower octane fuel such as alcohol should alleviate the problem with seals.
Not to mention that you and your android could go out drinking together.
