Not Corvair powered.
I was also surprised what it actually is when I looked at the exhaust system...

Was it a six-cylinder motor?

In fact I only know the make of the engine not the number of cylinders.

Looking at the manifold it could be well a six cylinder, but am not sure.

I've googled a bit and reckon now that it's more likely a six cylinder.

Kaiser V-6?(Formerly known as the GM Crossfire)

But then, you never said the motor was American.
