you're right, i was told it was a V8 so never really looked that close

i was wondering what those things at the back of the bay were

and yeah, apparently it's LPG

i'd be saying rotary as the engine looks so compact!

I'd be quite certain a small windsor, chev or even holden engine could not be hiding under that! Almost certainly not enough room...
