mystery motor

[John_Calabrese at ENGELHARD.COM]

Everyone,
I would like to ask a trivia question - Attached is a couple of pictures of a
motor I have but don't know what it is. I have narrowed it down to either a olds
or pontiac motor. I realize this doesn't have much to do with EFI, but the motor
has a vintage Lucas mechanicla Fuel injection system on it. The motor might be
some kind of protoype, but it was definately built in the mid sixties.

There are no stampings on the motor, except for each individual cylinder number
stamped above the spark plug hole on the head and on the flange of the
corresponding header flange.  The spark plug threads are smaller than the
standard, small plug, using a 5/8-inch socket to remove them.  They look like
motorcycle size plugs.  The champion part # on them is G-501, for
cross-referencing.


I do not know whether the motor is an Indy motor, formula, Can am, Buick,
Pontiac, Oldsmobile, etc.  There are external water passages on either side
(intake and exhaust) of the heads, and there are oil drainback tubes located on
the rear of the head draining to the block.  The block looks like a one-off
casting, as there is no lifter valley bores and the valley itself is cast
closed, hence no oil drainback slots normally associated with a V-8 of this
style.  The intake uses slider valves, and the exhaust ports incorporate a step
flange that can

?t be seen in the picture of the exhaust port.  The picture of
the header flange shows the step that fits into the head, again much like a
motorcycle


 I have not taken the motor apart, so I do not know any specifics on the motor
internals.  If you can refer me to someone who might know, that would be great
as I am running out of places and sources to look.  If you have any questions,
please call me at 732-205-2841, or reply to this.  Thanks to anyone who can help


PS  how do upload to the FTP SITE????
