3.0 ltr V8 multi OHC - from 1939 ! Wiki says 3 cams but pic seems to show 4 and I can't see how / why they would change from twin cams in head to one cam in each head and other in block yet still keep the twin cam type heads. Made from joining two 1.5 Riley lumps together. Love the carb setup as well.
Wonder how a marlin would look with similar styled wings ?
