That picture looks almost to early for Crosley, but anything is possible. There were several flat 8's built with Crosley parts, but back in them day's, anything was possible, imagination was KING, anything was possible, there were several midget's running, with the V8 60 engine upside down in them , to get the cg lower, and they ran pretty darned good too, and I saw a picture the other day, of a 215cu in Buick, in a midget, upside down, valve covers on the dirt side, from what the story was about it, it ran well also. In those days, your imagination was the only limit, and you didn't need a rocket scientist, and a machine shop to make it happen, they didn't just talk about it, they did it! Bob!
