Was it a six-cylinder motor?

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** October 14, 2012, 12:09:15 PM »

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.

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** October 14, 2012, 12:43:06 PM »

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.
