It is!

The Lycoming was built by  New Zealand's Ralph Watson in the early 1950's. It was a revolutionary design with the aircooled 5244cc aircraft engine running through a Studebaker gearbox to a Ford V8 differential. The engine is upside-down and back to front. Ralph Watson designed and built his own fuel injection system for the Lycoming.
