Graham.....nothing as complicated as that.....the Watson car I want to build has an Offenhauser four cylinder twin cam in it....if I use a Small Block Chevy kicked over 25 degrees,the exhaust comes out right where the Offy would be...that's it...oh and there is the $200,000 dollars to buy one.....this Watson had three valves jam at the Historics at Indy...turned up in my friends shop to get fixed...no damage,apart from the valves..oh and the $55000 repair bill....
...oh this is not a good example......its a ''lay down''....this is the car....but you are ''kind of ''right....they are set to only turn one way,but in the ever need to go quick,by offsetting the motor the driver sat alongside...this was a big step forward in getting the cars lower....the lay downs went a bit futher...the motors were run on their sides....these were the lowest these beautiful roadsters got before the Coopers and Lotus cars took on Indy...nothing was the same ever again.....

Blackvette,
In case you're interested, re my last post,
My memory was almost right......
I made it over to my fathers place, moved some boxes, then some more boxes, a few old tents, removed a blanket or two and found this....
As raced in the 60's....
I still have to complete a period looking, wooden decked trailer and will then will tow it behind my cortina to shows. Also have set of period leathers and helmet etc with it.
