Having it push and pull on every stroke should make it equivalent to an 8 cylinder. (2 coils on each piston)
Peter, do you think 10 to 20 HP could be achieved?

Dear Carl,
Welcome to the forum. Yes, a 10 to 20 HP solenoid engine with a scotch-yoke drive can be built if you have the Money, Time, Skill, and Machine Tools necessary to do it.
It's a very ambitious project, though.
Peter
