Your picture is much better than the ones I have scanned. It's really hard to understand the setup, so I will quote the write up that came with the pictures I have from "Old Car Weekly", dated March 29, 2001.
"The axes of the crankshafts of five six-cylinder (250 cubic inch) engines are horizontal and parallel with each other. As viewed from the front, the five engines are arranged around a clock face. The two lower engines are placed at approximately the 7 o'clock and the 5 o'clock positions and are at an angle of around five degrees above the horizontal. Two more blocks are located at roughly the 10 o'clock and the 2 o'clock positions. These two lie at about 30 degrees above the horizontal. The fifth block is placed in the normal, vertical orientation at the top (12 o'clock) position."
"Three carbs are placed on one side and two on the other, with all throttle linkages actuated by a common input. There is a large, common radiator for all five blocks located behind (at the flywheel end)."
