Malcom - yeah ~ they are ~ the rights to the original COBRA (copper brazed) sheet metal engine were purchased by Crosley prior to WWII ~ he supplied a mess of them thru the war to run generators, power a multitude of various small tugs (aircraft carriers, small fuel carriers,etc) and he was ready on DDAy with his new line of cars powered by COBRA ~ in '49 the COBRA became the CIBA (cast iron version) and was used as a direct replacement for the earlier COBRA engines to consumers.
44 cu in ~ 26.5 hp standard
