WHAT ENGINE IS THAT?

Yep could see it was an Indy motor
Only other thing I can think of at the moment Is a "Ford" Cosworth DFV. Know its not US.
Offenhousen ???
Will keep scratching the old grey matter

The V8 is a Drake DT160 circa 1977-78. One ran a 5th at Indianapolis in 1978. Never got properly developed. John Drake ran out of money, and Hans Herman, the designer, would not listen to experienced US engine men.

The second is a Deusenberg from 1930. A redesign of the earlier Model A engine. Destroked to 244 cubic inches for higher revs. It is single overhead camshaft with desmodromic valves. Ran a 5th. in 1930.

Thanks Brian Would never have guessed it for a Drake. Dont remember hearing of them for a long long time

No response from you guys other than 33chinacars.

Would you like me to keep posting engine photos?

Any of you got any ideas at all please post them.

Would the LR brotherhood like me to start a "What engine is that?" thread?

The second one is a Volker Six, 1930's. I remembered.
