Has anyone ever seen anything about how Lycoming's R7755 would have been installed in the B-36?

I haven't seen anything but given it was longer (3.082m vs 2.6m) and heavier (2,740 kg vs 1,690 kg) than the B-36's normal R-4360s it could have been interesting to fit.  I presume more would have to be inside the wing.  Mind you, that could have proven challenging:

What if YB-60 entered in service and several years later a powerplant update was applied?

BTW: I think that tailfin is quite oversized in this plane. What do you think?

I'd recently tripped over three built 1/72nd Monogram models good for salvage; a B-36 and two B-29s for $50 (before shipping), if anyone's a glutton for projects.

Found that forward fuselage sections of Amodel Bison and Monogram B-36 are so near same diameter as to be interchangeable.   Hmmm....
Is counter intuitive.
