You know, it could be that it had two single cylinder briggs and straton engines in the van at the time that the description was written up. Othwise it's just a 6, with a bunch of 4 cylinder 2.1 components on it running entirely on 4 (it wouldn't even have intake to the other 2). I was very excited about the title though. It would be cool to see one here in the states. What a whacky engine that was...... Taking a 4 banger and literally just adding an extra 2 cylinders. Can you imagine trying to fix the headgasket problems on that thing!?
