I don't know what the engine is, but I doubt if it's from a motorcycle.

Now that I know what powers this car, I can answer - no, not horizontally opposed.

Indeed it is.
It was the first car Gianpaolo Dallara built and was powered by a modified Fiat 850 engine from a Formula 875 racer, with a Fiat 600 gearbox.
Well done.
