A narrow, six cylinder that can drive from both ends?

Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
Is there such a thing as a six cylinder engine that I can pull equal amounts of power off of both ends?
Extra points for being Narrow and somewhat aerodynamic when turned sideways and horizontally?
I think this engine would be a useful replacement for a Lake buccaneer, bringing the center of thrust down, and spreading the slipstream across the wider area of the wing
I can see it being useful in pusher applications like a republic, seabee and as a replacement in bush plains in tractor applications, with the smaller propellers, giving you more ground clearance and less slip stream against the windshield
