A very long 180 cubic inch unit PROTOTYPE was made and had serious heat issues with that length and package sucked.
Jerry M did his deal and the unit could move 180 cid per revolution and twice the power of the stock Eaton unit. So it the 90 cubic inch Eaton was designed for a 3.8L engine to run 6000 rpm then a dual 90 unit could feed a 7.6L engine to 6,000 rpm and he designed them for a small block application (max 400 cid).
So he had a sweet set-up that worked well and was very unique in appearance.
