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!?
