My recollection was that the engine was designed for the street car and they
took one for the Lola as an advertising attempt (too bad it did so poorly).
They switched to Chev pretty quick.
How about the old mid 60s Brabham Formula 2 engines sourced from Honda - did
the same design wind up in the street Honda S600 and S800? Neat engines in
any case.
