I mean the engine tilted about it's axis to lower its C of G as it was in the Cummins Diesel and the Belond Special at Indianapolis or the Brabham BT55 in F1.

I don't know this

....it seems to have belt-driven cams, fuel injection, and rather long standoffs for the induction;...perhaps for a boat? Mid 'sixties and German?

thorax · January 19, 2020, 12:05:15 PM

not fro mid 'sixties and not from Germany.
I don't think he wanted to use it for boats

D-type · January 19, 2020, 05:47:53 PM

Was it intended for a competition car?

Zerk · January 20, 2020, 12:36:53 AM

Is this Pete Aardema, with the sheetmetal engine he scratchbuilt for Bonneville?

Allan L · January 30, 2020, 05:16:37 AM

I'll agree with Zerk to bump this thread. . .

Can we answer in Black hole?

Otherwise is it linked to engine with weird cycle like Miller or Atckinson?

Yes, the Black Hole is open to all puzzlers. Usually the reward for solving a Black Hole puzzle is 2 points instead of one.
