No

No. This engine used to be a Motorcycle engine until they created a similar one, just for cyclecars (according to wikipedia)
I meant the engine brand.

I meant "Indian" as the American motorcycle manufacturer, not the country.

So, was it originally an Excelsior (Chicago, 1907-1931) engine ?

This engine company built just engines, not motorcycles, not cars.

Not Excelsior engine
