I mean the engine tilted about it's axis to lower its C of G as it was in the Cummins Diesel and the Belond Special at Indianapolis or the Brabham BT55 in F1.

....it seems to have belt-driven cams, fuel injection, and rather long standoffs for the induction;...perhaps for a boat? Mid 'sixties and German?

thorax · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2020, 12:05:15 PM »

not fro mid 'sixties and not from Germany.
I don't think he wanted to use it for boats

Yes, the Black Hole is open to all puzzlers. Usually the reward for solving a Black Hole puzzle is 2 points instead of one.
