The Fiat AS.6 after development in 1933/34 actually seemed to be pretty reliable for the time. I have some documents on the ground tests stashed away somewhere, but the engine would run fine for an hour at maximum power of 3,100hp and many hours at reduced power.Now when running on actual aviation gasoline available at the time the power would be reduced significantly, but I'm pretty sure that you could get ~2,000hp from that engine reliably. However it was a big engine (although not that heavy) which required a much bigger fighter than the CR.32/42 around at that time. Would fit in the G.55 with a little work...
