#'s 2 and 4 in DDL are a great detail of the cam setup which resembles current auto engines. Dan

Hi, Don.
Boy, isn't that the truth. I've wondered why the designer went with a flat-eight engine. That decision could have been influenced by the design of the boat, probably not, though. A lower center of mass could have been a consideration as well.

What fuel it ran on was one of the answers I wanted to get at the show. As I commented earlier in another response,
I wasn't able to find the party responsible for the exhibit.

Really neat engine. Appears to be 2 dual overhead cam 4 cylinder engines Siamesed. Looks similar to the Offenhauser engines that ran at Indy and most dirt tracts in the 50s but I don’t think they were around this early.
