      I am in the process of buying the above motor what is it ? I thought all the early motors were opposed cylinders engines.

        this is a circa 1934 Lightwin Imperial. It is missing all the shrouds. As can be seen it is an alternate firing twin.
        Here is a video of one I previously owned. Click to play it.

          If you need parts, Doug Penn has a bunch of them.

            Very cool engine, seems to be ahead of its time. Ignition/carb synchronized together and alternate firing twin.
